California-Baja California Border Master Plan California-Baja California Border Master Plan Plan Maestro Fronterizo California-Baja California Technical Appendix SEPTEMBER 2008 SEPTEMBER 2008 California-Baja California Border Master Plan Plan Maestro Fronterizo California-Baja California Technical Appendix Submitted to Caltrans, District 11 4050 Taylor Street San Diego, CA 92110 Submitted by SANDAG Service Bureau 401 B Street, Suite 800 San Diego, CA 92101-4231 Phone 619.699.1900 Fax 619.699.1905 www.sandag.org/servicebureau The California-Baja California Border Master Plan was commissioned by the U.S./Mexico Joint Working Committee to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Secretariat of Infrastructure and Urban Development of Baja California (Secretaría de Desarrollo Urbano del Estado de Baja California or SIDUE) for the California-Baja California border region. Appendix A Project-Specific Documentation California-Baja California Border Master Plan Policy Advisory Committee and Technical Working Group Charter PURPOSE Under the direction of the U.S. / Mexico Joint Working Committee, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the State of Baja California’s Secretariat of Infrastructure and Urban Development (SIDUE) hereby establish the California-Baja California Border Master Plan Policy Advisory Committee and Technical Working Group. These groups will participate in the development of a Border Master Plan—a comprehensive approach for coordinating planning and delivery of Port of Entry (POE) and transportation infrastructure projects serving POEs in the California-Baja California region. Ideally the approach and methodologies identified in the Border Master Plan would be incorporated into the respective planning and programming processes of the individual participating agencies at the federal, state, regional, and local levels in the U.S. and Mexico. LINE OF REPORTING The Policy Advisory Committee and the Technical Working Group will report to Caltrans and SIDUE for the development of the California-Baja California Border Master Plan. Caltrans and SIDUE, in turn, report to the U.S. / Mexico Joint Working Committee for this project. RESPONSIBILITIES The Policy Advisory Committee will be responsible for providing direction, approving the study parameters, and establishing criteria for future evaluation of projects. Proposed objectives of Policy Advisory Committee are outlined below: Establish clear parameters for the Border Master Plan such as defining the “Border Region” for the purposes of this study, as well as the time horizon for data analysis and other issues needing definition as requested by the Technical Working Group. Ensure that the Border Master Plan goals are comprehensive and consistent with all stakeholder plans and strategies. Review and approve criteria for prioritizing improvements to existing or new POEs and connecting roads within the border region in future efforts. Seek to incorporate the study’s findings and methodologies into their agencies’ own planning and programming processes and into appropriate transportation and POE planning and funding documents. Commit resources and staff to the effort to ensure the timely exchange of information and data needed to successfully complete the study. Facilitate the exchange of information for ongoing and future planning and implementation activities. Participate in future Master Plan updates and/or other study recommendations as approved by the Policy Advisory Committee. The Technical Working Group will be responsible for supporting the Consultant to implement the direction of the Policy Advisory Committee by providing requested information in a timely manner, Appendix A-1 3 and for making recommendations to the Policy Advisory Committee. Some of the proposed objectives of the Technical Working Group are outlined below: Assist in plan development process by providing the Consultant data and information requested on a timely schedule. Review transportation and POE infrastructure assessments, proposals, and other pertinent information as requested by the Consultant. Endorse and forward to the Policy Advisory Committee criteria developed by the Consultant to prioritize improvements to existing or new POEs as well as connecting roads within a bi- state framework in future studies. Make recommendations to the Policy Advisory Committee and serve as a resource to the Consultant to maximize the opportunities to successfully complete this study.

  • May 18, 2012 Projection of the CARB 2008 Emissions Inventory For
    May 18, 2012 Projection of the CARB 2008 Emissions Inventory for Northern Mexico to Future Years INTRODUCTION In ERG (2009), the baseline 1999 national emissions inventory for Mexico was projected to the years 2008, 2012, and 2030. These projections were used to extrapolate the year 2008 emissions inventory for Baja California (CARB, 2012) to the years 2023 and 2030 for air quality analyses within southern California. In their analyses, ERG (2009) used projections of population growth, industrial development, and land use planning to estimate future emissions; in many cases, by individual source classification code (SCC). However, this level of detail is beyond the scope of what can be done in the short term. Also, while the emissions inventory generated for Baja California by the CARB (2012) used ERG’s year 2008 inventory as a starting point, the final inventory was appreciably different. In this analysis, the relative changes in emissions growth quantified by ERG for the years 1999, 2008, and 2030 were used to prepare emissions-response curves, which were then used to scale the CARB 2008 inventory to future years. PREPARATION OF EMISSIONS RESPONSE FUNCTIONS The emissions inventories developed by ERG (2009) for the years 1999, 2008, 2012, and 2030 were provided in four broadly defined groups: on-road, non-road, point, and non-point emissions. Within these groups, emissions for CO, NOx, SOx, COT (VOC), PM10 (PM), and NH3 were provided by State and by Municipality. To avoid being confounded by differences in spatial distributions and source classifications, emissions within each group were summed by State and Municipality.

    From: Jones, Allen To: Hall, Vince; Shepard, Tom; McCormack, Irene; DRBOB Subject: AJ"s edits to first draft of State of the City address Date: Saturday, January 05, 2013 4:29:20 PM Attachments: Attached are my revised additions to the SoC in response to our discussion today. Allen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tom Shepard <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Dec 29, 2012 at 9:43 AM Subject: First draft of State of the City speech To: Vince Hall < > Attached is a first draft of the State of the City speech. As I mentioned when we first discussed this, the draft should be viewed as a framework, not a completed document. I’ve highlighted in yellow paragraphs that are still needed but that are outside my areas of expertise. Among these, I’ve already asked Chris Frahm to give us a paragraph on water policy, which she has promised by next week. Also, please note that it has been a custom in some previous SoCs to solicit suggestions from the council members about specific initiatives they would like the mayor to call out and for which they would like to be recognized. Not sure if you want to do this, but if so the appropriate place would be right after Bob’s recognition of them in the current draft. To expedite the process of completing this, I suggest we schedule a meeting with Bob sometime this next week to go over the draft, get his feedback, and make assignments for additional items that need to be added. I stand ready to revise, add, delete (or in any other way you direct) take responsibility for ensuring Bob ends up with a final product with which he is satisfied.

    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.
