It gives a good overview of this very interesting project which was begun more than a decade ago. It presents an excellent case study in public private partnerships.) The Interstate Clean Transportation Corridor is a planned network of alternative fuel dispensing stations along key roadways that serve associated alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) fleets that move freight between cities and states in the Western United States. It is the first economically sustainable and most successful planned clean fuel corridor of its kind in the nation. The goal of the ICTC Project is to mobilize and concentrate public and private resources to maximize the commercial viability of clean, alternative fuel trucks in goods movement. The ICTC Project links truck fleet operators to engine, chassis and fuel providers, as well as to public agencies that provide technical and financial assistance in order to facilitate the deployment of alternative fuel trucks and development of alternative fuel infrastructure along the corridor. The United States Department of Energy (U.S. DOE), United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), California Air Resources Board (CARB), South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), California Energy Commission (CEC), San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG), Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD), Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), and the Antelope Valley Air Pollution Control District (AVAPCD) have mutually funded the Project and are members of the Project's Steering Committee. The ICTC Project provides a unique opportunity for these agencies to coordinate their respective air quality and energy agendas through this single collaborative effort. 5 Through the support of the ICTC Steering Committee, the project provides complimentary technical and grant funding services to heavy-duty fleet operators looking to deploy alternative fuel heavy- duty trucks and infrastructure at key locations along the corridor. HISTORY The ICTC grew out of efforts undertaken to address issues raised by the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission, and the 1992 Energy Policy Act (EPAct) regarding the air pollution and the country's growing dependence on imported oil. Throughout the early and mid 1990s, awareness of the role of diesel on public health and exacerbating regional haze was growing. In addition, the 1990-91 Gulf War as well as several unexpected price shocks reminded the nation of the adverse economic consequences of our transportation system's almost total reliance on petroleum. Reducing the country's use of diesel fuel was seen as a way to address these problems simultaneously. In 1993, the United States Department of Energy (US-DOE) developed the "Clean Cities Program," which encourages public private partnerships to advance the purchase and use of clean alternative fuel vehicle technology and infrastructure on a local and regional level. The concept of Clean Cities was to start small, build awareness of the link between air pollution and petroleum-dependent transportation, and introduce fleet operators to new options for vehicle fuel. The idea was to create interest and build momentum, with the hope that each community would begin to work together to develop and implement an AFV deployment plan tailored to its individual needs and that would enable it to reap the rewards of mutual action. As the Clean Cities program expanded the next logical step was to link Clean Cities together through an integrated network of Clean Fuel Corridors. One of the early proponents of the corridor concept in the Western United States was Ken Kelley, President and CEO of JBK Trucking Company. In late 1995, Gladstein, Neandross & Associates (GNA) and Ruby Mountain, Inc., working with the late Carl Moyer, Mike Jackson, and Charlotte Pera of Acurex Environmental, developed Kelley's idea into the Interstate Clean Transportation Corridor. As originally envisioned, the ICTC was to link the region's five major air quality non-attainment areas: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Salt Lake City and the San Joaquin Valley along the I-80, I-5/CA- 99 and the I-15. The initial goals of the ICTC were to: • Create a triangular corridor that would provide alternative fuel coverage for over 1,800 miles of some of the nation's busiest interstate highways. • Install 10 natural gas fueling stations along the three legs of the corridor; • Deploy 250 new heavy-duty AFV's to utilize this infrastructure; • Displacing over 4.7 million gallons of petroleum fuel annually; • Reducing emissions of priority pollutants by over 131 tons a annually; • Generating over $19 million in private investment in new alternative fuel infrastructure. 6 By January, 1996, major environmental agencies and air districts agreed to fund the Project and become members of the Project's Steering Committee. Later, other smaller agencies agreed to support the ICTC Project. As evidenced by the successes realized by the ICTC thus far, the ICTC Project has been one of the most successful programs of it kind anywhere in the world. As the Project's successes are continually being updated, please view the "ICTC News Updates" section of the site to see the most current Achievements of the ICTC. ACHIEVEMENTS By any measure, the ICTC Project has been one of the most successful programs of it kind anywhere in the world. Since its inception, the ICTC has become the nation's most successful public-private partnership dedicated to accelerating the market penetration of clean, alternative fuel vehicles in the interstate movement of goods. In that time the project has exceeded most of its initial goals and is well on the way to accomplishing them all. At present, ICTC staff has helped to secure $23.8 million in funding to: • Build twenty-three (23) public access natural gas fueling stations in California and Nevada. • Deploy 514 heavy-duty and 160 light duty natural gas and LPG vehicles to use these

Abstract An advanced-technology Integrated Safety and Security Enforcement System (ISSES), now deployed at three commercial vehicle inspection sites along interstate highways in Kentucky, was evaluated from the point of view of system performance, potential effects on inspection selection efficiency (choosing the highest-risk trucks from the stream of commerce), user acceptance, and costs. Overall, despite the fact that commercial vehicle law enforcement staffing levels in Kentucky did not allow for full-time, dedicated use of the ISSES by inspectors at the time of the evaluation, the subsystems that were under evaluation in this task were found to be performing effectively in a stand-alone mode.

    Study of U.S. Inland Containerized Cargo Moving Through Canadian and Mexican Seaports July 2012 Committee for the Study of U.S. Inland Containerized Cargo Moving Through Canadian and Mexican Seaports Richard A. Lidinsky, Jr. - Chairman Lowry A. Crook - Former Chief of Staff Ronald Murphy - Managing Director Rebecca Fenneman - General Counsel Olubukola Akande-Elemoso - Office of the Chairman Lauren Engel - Office of the General Counsel Michael Gordon - Office of the Managing Director Jason Guthrie - Office of Consumer Affairs and Dispute Resolution Services Gary Kardian - Bureau of Trade Analysis Dr. Roy Pearson - Bureau of Trade Analysis Paul Schofield - Office of the General Counsel Matthew Drenan - Summer Law Clerk Jewel Jennings-Wright - Summer Law Clerk Foreword Thirty years ago, U.S. East Coast port officials watched in wonder as containerized cargo sitting on their piers was taken away by trucks to the Port of Montreal for export. At that time, I concluded in a law review article that this diversion of container cargo was legal under Federal Maritime Commission law and regulation, but would continue to be unresolved until a solution on this cross-border traffic was reached: “Contiguous nations that are engaged in international trade in the age of containerization can compete for cargo on equal footings and ensure that their national interests, laws, public policy and economic health keep pace with technological innovations.” [Emphasis Added] The mark of a successful port is competition. Sufficient berths, state-of-the-art cranes, efficient handling, adequate acreage, easy rail and road connections, and sophisticated logistical programs facilitating transportation to hinterland destinations are all tools in the daily cargo contest.

  • TRANSPORTATION and DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS in the INLAND EMPIRE: the Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal
    TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE: The Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal Phase I Pat Mc Inturff California State University, San Bernardino Management Department Jose L. Garcia California State University, San Bernardino Director, Inland Commerce and Security Institute Tania Paimar California State University, San Bernardino Research Associate June 25, 2009 1 TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE: The Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal Phase I Introduction Over the last decades the Inland Empire has emerged as a global distribution center with over 700 million square feet of distribution and warehouses under roof. Along with this phenomenal growth, the transp01iation infrastructure of the region has become over burdened and highly congested. Adding to the growth and an infrastructure stretched thin is the ongoing aiJival of super container ships at the po1is of Long Beach and Los Angeles. One proposal to lessen the pressure on the Southern California po1is has been the expansion ai1d redevelopment of P01i Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. Once a favored port of cruise ships, the p01i has embarked on moving from principally a passenger destination to becoming a global port facility. The overall focus of this study is to analyze the impact of Po1i Ensenada upon the Inland Empire by addressing identifiable consequences upon the transp01iation infrastructure including highway, rail, and shipping utilization and flow of goods in relation to existing and expected wai·ehouses and distribution centers. Phase one of this study will consist primai·ily of the collection of archival research, public writings and the understanding of the Port of Ensenada project proposals along with its cmTent developmental status.
