Picture of Project See attached. 2. Background and Description of Project In 2008, the State of California Air Resources Board (CARB) put into effect new regulations, requiring reductions of air pollutants emitted from ships docked (at-berth) at most California ports. The key requirements of the regulation include emission reductions of 50% starting in 2014, 70% starting in 2017, and 80% starting in 2020. Grant funding awarded to the Port typically requires emission reductions additional to those required by the CARB regulation. The Shore Power Program involves the design and construction of high voltage electrical infrastructure in the Port of Oakland (Port) Maritime area, so that ships can plug into the electric grid while docked. Connecting to the electric grid dramatically reduces emissions from docked vessels. The infrastructure generally runs from the Port’s main substations to on-terminal substations and, from there, to the terminal wharves. Power is extended down to the wharves, where vaults with electrical connections will provide the interface (outlets) for ocean going vessels (plugs). 3. Schedule The Port’s Program comprises 11 berths and is being constructed in three phases, as outlined below.

  • The Need for Freight Rail Electrification in Southern California
    The Need for Freight Rail Electrification in Southern California Brian Yanity Californians for Electric Rail [email protected] May 13, 2018 Executive Summary Full electrification of freight trains is the only proven zero-emissions freight railroad technology. Electric rail propulsion can take several different forms, including locomotives powered by overhead catenary wire, on-board batteries, or more advanced concepts such as battery tender cars and linear synchronous motors. This white paper is largely a literature review of previous studies on electric freight rail in the Southern California region, with information compiled about existing electric freight rail locomotives and systems from around the world. The two main benefits of freight rail electrification in the region would be reduced air pollution, and reduced consumption of diesel fuel for transportation. Electrification of freight rail in Southern California would reduce the public health impacts to local communities affected by diesel-powered freight transportation, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions of freight movement. The main challenge for electric freight rail is the high capital costs of electric rail infrastructure, especially the overhead catenary wire over tracks. A variety of options for public and/or private financing of freight rail electrification need to be explored. Electrification of the proposed short-haul rail service between the ports and the Inland Empire, currently under study, is an opportunity for using electric locomotives though the Alameda

A summary of the traffic analysis methodology is included in Appendix C. Traffic volumes and intersection level of service calculations are included in Technical Appendices F-5 and F-6, respectively. The technical 1 appendices are available for review at the City of Santa Cruz Planning Department and are also included on the Draft EIR CD and on the online version of the Draft EIR on the City’s website at www.cityofsantacruz.com, Planning Department. R EGULATORY S ETTING A number of local, regional and state agencies are involved with transportation planning and implementation of transportation programs and improvements within the City of Santa Cruz. The City maintains local roadways and bike and pedestrian facilities. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has jurisdiction over State highway segments that traverse the City, including portions of Highways 1, 9, and 17. To help fund local roadway and intersection improvements, the City has developed a “Traffic Impact Fee” (TIF) that is applied to new development at the time of issuance of building permits (see discussion below in the “Planned Transportation Improvements” subsection for more details), and the City is active in acquiring transportation funding from federal and state sources.
