Introduction Commencement Bay has a long history of industrial development, which has leant Tacoma its moniker “City of Destiny” as well as its notoriety as the home of the “Tacoma aroma.” This development has also shaped Tacoma’s current shoreline and overall appearance. Originally, the shoreline was primarily an expanse of tideflats and estuaries, with large shellfish and seabird populations and important salmon habitat. The tideflats have for thousands of years supported tribes such as the Puyallup, and more recently the region’s abundant natural resources and the deep waters of the bay enticed Western settlement. In spite of the 1854 Treaty of Medicine Creek, which supposedly granted the Puyallup the rights to the tideflats at the mouth of the Puyallup River, development by Western settlers quickly overtook the local landscape.

Chao U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, D.C. 20590 Dear Secretary Chao: The City of Fife is pleased to submit this FY 2020 Better Utilizing Investment to Leverage Development (BUILD) grant application for Phase II of the I-5/Port of Tacoma Road Interchange Improvement Project (Project). This Interchange Improvement Project completes this phase of a transformational effort by the City of Fife, the Port of Tacoma, and The Washington State Department of Transportation to address significant backups at this interchange and to dramatically improve the movement of freight and goods as well as traffic in general. The Project includes road, intersection, and intersection improvements at the I-5/Port of Tacoma Road interchange that will greatly enhance a critical connection to the Port of Tacoma, which combines with the Port of Seattle to form the fourth largest gateway for containerized cargo in our nation. This $25 million in requested investment will leverage $24.65 million secured local and state matching funds already allocated to fully fund Phase II of the I-5/Port of Tacoma Road Interchange Improvement Project, making federal FY 2020 BUILD funds the last dollars needed to expeditiously complete design and begin construction. Additionally, the City of Fife has already fully funded Phase I of the Project ($44.6 million) which is 80% complete.

  • DRAFT Port of Tacoma Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy Implementation Plan
    DRAFT Port of Tacoma Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy Implementation Plan Produced by The Port of Tacoma July 8, 2021 1 Executive Summary: PLACEHOLDER PLACEHOLDER 2 Table of Contents: PLACEHOLDER PLACEHOLDER 3 Glossary: PLACEHOLDER PLACEHOLDER 4 1. Purpose Improving air quality and reducing impacts on climate change are key priorities for the Port of Tacoma (PoT) and as such, it has been a partner in the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy (NWPCAS) since its inception in 2008. The NWPCAS is a voluntary collaboration between the PoT, Port of Seattle (PoS), The Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA) and Port of Vancouver (VFPA) to reduce and ultimately eliminate air pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from seaport activities in the Puget Sound-Georgia Basin Airshed. The NWPCAS constitutes a shared strategic framework for clean air and climate actions and investments that creates a “level playing field” across the four participating port entities, and helps them coordinate, collaborate, and hold each other accountable. The participating ports completed a renewal of the NWPCAS in 2020, continuing their commitment to work jointly to reduce air pollution and climate impacts. The 2020 NWPCAS puts forth an aggressive, aspirational joint vision to phase out emissions from seaport activities by 2050, supported by a suite of high-level joint objectives and actions. Given that each port exists in a unique policy environment, has different lines of business, and different community interests, there is a need for flexibility in how the ports individually implement the NWPCAS. Therefore, each port has committed to developing an Implementation Plan that details the individual actions they will take to work towards the NWPCAS vision and objectives.

  • FAST Corridor Brochure
    April 2006 The FAST Partnership helps move our economy. Don Wilson, Port of Seattle Don Wilson, Port of Seattle Since 1998, a coalition of public and private partners in the Puget Sound maritime freight gateway has leveraged $568 million of public and private funding for strategic freight mobility infrastructure improvements. Another $300 million is needed to complete the remaining 16 of the 25 most important FAST Corridor projects. FAST Corridor Keeps the Puget Sound Gateway Open As one of the West Coast’s largest Pacific Rim trade hubs, the Puget Sound ports of Tacoma, Seattle and Everett link worldwide suppliers and markets. Washington State and the entire nation depend on the ability of the highways and rail lines in the Puget Sound gateway to move goods for retail, industrial and agricultural sectors. FAST Vision & Goals Each of the FAST Corridor partners works to achieve a common freight mobility vision. That vision integrates local and regional transportation system improvements along mainline rail lines and truck corridors near ports in the central Puget Sound region. These projects move international maritime and domestic trade, while supporting Puget Sound’s economy and locally mitigating the impact of freight that benefits other parts of the country. The FAST Corridor’s goals are to: Improve the func- Eliminate choke- Provide safe rail Establish reliable tionality, capacity and points where railroad crossings and reliable truck links between connectivity of the and arterial networks emergency access for ports, railroad intermo- mainline rail system. intersect. local communities. dal yards and regional distribution centers.
