PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Canaveral Port Authority (CPA) is requesting $12.3 million in TIGER funds to help advance critical investments being made in its Inland Port Logistics Center (ILC). Specifically the TIGER funds would help advance the construction of roadway capacity improvements along the key access road to the ILC as well as construct onsite roads including storm water ponds and utilities. These roadway improvements are critical to the success of the ILC; they will ensure efficient and safe access to logistics services and warehouse/distribution center capacity. CPA is investing significantly in its cargo operation, an operation that will be dependent on the new logistics services provided by the ILC. Award of a grant will help State Route 524 minimize the impact of long haul truck movements along U.S. highways by supporting Port Canaveral’s ability to serve the Orlando Metro Market. No Class A high bay logistics distribution center or warehouse exists in Brevard County to serve new cargo distribution and logistics clients. In late 2014 CPA purchased the 271 acre parcel located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of State Road 524 and Interstate 95 (I-95), Brevard County Florida. This planned project has entitlements from the City of Cocoa for up to 1,000,000 square feet of industrial/business park, 810,000 square feet of commercial, 675 multi-family units and 270 hotel rooms. The entitlements are capable of being modified/converted in accordance with the City of Cocoa Development Order. Located strategically at the intersection of State Road 524 and I-95, this location provides highway access ideal for logistics centers. The existing approved entitlements from the City of Cocoa and low per acre cost will provide the opportunity to attract large cargo users that require logistics/processing space while allowing CPA to keep Port property for waterside priority uses. As an Inland Port, this will provide the logistics center needed by the growing cargo development of CPA and Brevard County businesses, as well as serve the freight mobility needs in central Florida and beyond. With the ownership of this property, CPA has a vested interest in the development of logistics center, serving the needs of the Port, surrounding cities, Brevard County and central Florida. TIGER grant funding for the development of the logistics center road improvements, utilities, infrastructure and stormwater is the crucial next step in moving this project forward. An ILC’s success is driven by its ability to provide quality logistics and transportation services. Access to the interstate highway system, intermodal rail, a deep water seaport, and an international airport, combined with reliable connections to a large consumer market is critical. Site selection decisions are often driven by the ability to illustrate these services and connections exist. Page 3 of 22 Reduced congestion along roadway and rail corridors is essential in supporting international trade and efficient supply chains. As our international gateways (airport and seaports) grow and expand, it is critical that the landside transportation and logistics requirements are similarly identified and expanded in a way that protects the quality of life in host communities while ensuring competitive access to the market place. CPA’s ILC has all of these advantages available and the roadway capacity improvement projects will help advance its development by providing safe and reliable access from Port Canaveral to the ILC and from the ILC to the Orlando Metro Market via State Route 524 (SR 524); and access to the full ILC foot print via the internal roadway network. In addition, the improvements to SR 524 will improve regional mobility for both cargo and passenger traffic. SR 524 congestion is a growing problem. Anticipated growth projections will result in increased congestion and delay, and reduced safety. The introduction of increased truck traffic along the corridor will further reduce level of service and increase the risk of accidents. Widening of SR 524, in conjunction with the development of the ILC, will improve transportation efficiencies and safety, create new and expanded economic opportunities, provide improved access to jobs and businesses, and support existing and future land use. This project will provide convenience for users such as: shippers and receivers of cargo, warehouse tenants, emergency vehicles, local residents and other regular users commuting to and from their jobs in the area. This roadway improvement project and ILC development will promote “Ladders of Opportunity” for all of Brevard County and the neighboring counties. This will create economic opportunities such as new jobs, community revitalization that benefits the entire Brevard County population, an expanded foreign trade zone to attract value added services and manufacturing, and an increased supply of commercial real estate for warehousing and distribution purposes. III. PROJECT LOCATION This project is located in the City of Cocoa in Brevard County, Florida as shown and described in Figure 1.

CPA is currently the only party funding this project. Although, the City of Cocoa is unable to partner at this time, there is an existing Development Order between the City of Cocoa and the former owner which was transferred to the Port as the new owner, dated 10/26/2010, expiring this year, where a funding commitment provision is established for the SR 524 improvements. There is a possibility that this provision can be extended or revised dependent on future discussions between the Port CEO, the City of Cocoa Manager and the City Council but this has not happened prior to the Port’s TIGER grant application submittal. In addition, CPA will be submitting an application to the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Council (FSTED) for this project to be included in their 5-year work program and to be considered for funding in fiscal year 2016-2017.

SELECTION CRITERIA The Port Canaveral Inland Port Logistics Center (ILC) will have substantial impacts on the region’s economic competitiveness. The project is a critical component of the port’s cargo development strategy. Cargo destined for the Orlando Metro Market will continue to increase as the region grows, ultimately becoming the largest region in Florida, the third largest state in the U.S. The ability of Port Canaveral to compete for and handle cargo destined for this market will create a more efficient supply chain for cargo, reducing truck mileage, decreasing overall transportation costs, lowering infrastructure maintenance, and improving quality of life and environmental sustainability. This ILC is vital to the current and future/forecast growth of the Orlando Metro Market. It will provide warehousing and distribution facilities required to support the inbound cargo at Port Canaveral destined for the greater Orlando Metro Market. Without the support of the Port and its ILC project, the Orlando Metro Market and surrounding population will experience higher prices due to cargo being handled less efficiently at competing ports and being trucked into the region from much greater distances. The Orlando Metro Market region’s population (defined as Brevard, Volusia, Indian River, Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties) is estimated to grow by 1.2 million or a 39 percent increase by 2040 as illustrated in Table 2.1 This region will account for almost 20 percent of Florida’s growth over this time period. This increase in population, combined with continued growth in annual tourists, will significantly increase the demand for consumer goods. Expansion of the Orlando International Airport (MCO) also will create additional opportunities for growth in tourism and business markets for both the domestic and international travelers. Table 2.

Port Canaveral’s ILC will be a key stimulus project for the port and the region, creating a more efficient way to serve the large and growing consuming population base in Central Florida. 1 http://edr.state.fl.us/Content/population-demographics/data/Medium_Projections.pdf Page 8 of 22 This grant application provides the opportunity for the development of the ILC to be accelerated. Port Canaveral is aggressively advancing the development of its cargo facilities focused on the container market. As part of this process, the port recognized the need for supporting landside capacity. With the purchase of the ILC site, the port is advancing its cargo operation at the waterside (deepening to accommodate larger ships), terminal side (container terminal development), and land side (ILC with roadway improvements) simultaneously. A successful grant will help optimize the supply chain in the short term, supporting port growth, eliminating long haul truck movements, generating high paying jobs, increasing the competitive environment for regional businesses, and supporting environmental sustainability and quality of life. With trade patterns shifting and anticipated to further shift with competition of the Panama Canal expansion, and with Port Canaveral aggressively investing in its cargo infrastructure, now is the time to accelerate this project and the grant is a key part of that process. A TIGER grant would ensure that the ILC advances on schedule; without the grant the project will advance at a much slower rate. With and without conditions are presented below: • With Grant. Development of the ILC advances on the defined schedule. Construction would begin when the grant funding became available. Internal and external roadway improvements will be constructed as part of site preparation and development helping ensure the entire site is shovel ready as new tenants are identified. In addition, the necessary capacity will be available to help support Port Canaveral’s cargo expansion forecasts. Finally, the impacted roadways will operate more efficiently and more safely from day one of the site opening its doors. • Without Grant. Development of the ILC advances, but more slowly, with the roadway improvements, both internal and external. coming on line over time. This will result in parcels of land being available as opposed to the site as a whole. The time to reach full build out will double. This will impact Port Canaveral’s ability to achieve its cargo forecasts as shippers elect to use more distant competitor ports; some cargo will be lost permanently. The region will experience a greater number of long haul truck trips. Roadway conditions around the site will worsen as capacity is brought on line, resulting in a reactive environment as opposed to proactive one, creating less safe operating conditions. The key difference between with and without grant conditions is the development schedule. The with grant schedule will achieve full capacity out by year 8; the without grant schedule will achieve full capacity by year 15. The benefit of the grant consists of the additional cargo handled at the ILC prior to the build out under without grant conditions (e.g., benefits accrue from 2018 thru 2031). Additional scenario details can be found in the Benefit-Cost Analysis section. The potential long-term outcomes and selection criteria for the ILC will are discussed below and include: state of good repair, economic competitiveness, quality of life, sustainability, safety, innovation, and partnerships. a. Primary Criteria - LONG-TERM OUTCOMES i. State of Good Repair The State of Good Repair will be comprised of the value of avoided roadway pavement damage due to reduced truck vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) from shorter haul movements for cargo handled at Port Canaveral and the ILC. The development of the ILC will reduce truck VMT by replacing long haul movements from distance seaports with short haul truck movements moving from Port Canaveral to the ILC and from the ILC to the Orlando Metro Market. Page 9 of 22 The calculation measures the avoided truck VMT created by moving cargo through Port Canaveral and the ILC based on average pavement damage cost per truck mile of travel. The total state of good repair benefit is $14.8 million (non-discounted) in avoided pavement damage over the 30 year analysis period. ii. Economic Competitiveness The Economic Competitiveness is measured based on two factors: travel time savings for truck drivers; and savings on truck operating costs including maintenance and fuel. The savings is based on reduced VMT as a result of serving the Orlando Metro Market from Port Canaveral and the ILC versus competitor ports and distribution centers located in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Savannah. The benefit-cost analysis assumes that the completed project will serve containerized cargo moving through Port Canaveral to the Orlando Metro Market and that such movements will on average result in trips 70 miles shorter than when handled at competitor facilities. Without the grant, a greater proportion of the demand generated by the Orlando Metro Market will be handled by competing ports. The result is an estimated total of 172.0 million truck VMT avoided over the thirty year analysis period resulting in an estimated $289.3 million (non-discounted) in cost savings over the 30 year period. Short-Term and Long-Term Job Creation Job creation and economic stimulus related to this project may be attributed to temporary construction activity and permanent jobs related to the logistics park. The short-term jobs created due to the roadway improvements and site development will initially be engineers, planners, surveyors, skilled heavy equipment operators, and construction workers. The construction impacts are a one-time only impact as a result of the construction activity of the proposed project. The estimated $23.02 million in project cost was used to estimate the direct and indirect short-term job impacts. The result using this method is approximately 228 jobs during the construction phase as shown in Table 3. The long-term estimates of jobs and economic activity generated by this project are based on the volume of TEUs estimated to be handled at the ILC. This throughput phases in over time as capacity comes on line. It is important to note that these impacts are not cumulative. For example, these impacts cannot be added together to determine a total impact. Year 1 impacts represent the jobs created by 7,997 TEUs. Year 10 impacts reflect the impact of 151,465 TEUs. With the grant award, the project will generate 28 jobs in the first year and 526 jobs in year 10, as shown in Table 4.

Quality of life. The quality of life criteria is focused on land use choices that reduce VMT, increased accessibility, and property value increases. The ILC will increase the value of the property it is developed on, will provide access to new high paying jobs, and will help reduce VMT on U.S. roadways. In addition, the new roadway capacity will benefit the local community and the new retail and services (e.g., gas station, hotel) will provide additional value. While this interpretation of quality of life may differ from the traditional interpretation, the project will support efforts to create and maintain a vibrant community. The project is anticipated to generate 526 full time jobs and reduce truck VMT by 172.0 million. The project will serve as an incubator for the supply chain and logistics industry, including long term success of Port Canaveral’s container operation. The long term benefits of this project will improve the quality of life for the surrounding community. Page 11 of 22 iv. Environmental Sustainability The environmental sustainability criteria are focused on environmental benefits from reduced emissions. This project promotes environmentally sustainable transportation by decreasing truck VMT and reducing emissions and fuel consumption. The avoidance of 172.0 million truck VMT due to shorter haul movements will result in a reduction of 10.7 million gallons of diesel fuel over 30 years, despite a net growth in cargo tonnage. The emissions benefits of the reduced truck VMT focused on the following emission types: NOx, PM10, VOCs, SOx, and CO2. Emissions rates for trucks were estimated using the California Life-Cycle Benefit/Cost Analysis Model (Version 5.0) and applied to the VMT estimates. The emissions were then monetized using the TIGER VII guidance, resulting in avoided emissions as follows: 120 thousand metric tons of CO2, 25 metric tons of VOCs, 110 metric tons of NOx, and 9 tons of PM10, and 1 ton of SOx over the analysis period. Overall, this leads to a total emissions benefit of $11.0 million (non-discounted) over the 30 year analysis period with the value of CO2 emissions discounted at 3 percent. Table 5 summarizes the emissions avoided. Table 5: Metric Tons of Emissions Avoided Over 30 Year Analysis Period Avoided Emissions CO2 VOCs NOx PM10 SOx Tons 119,864 25 110 9 1 Source: California Life-Cycle Benefit/Cost Analysis Model (Version 5.0) and Cambridge Systematics supplemental analysis. v. Safety The safety criteria are focused on prevented accidents (property damage), injuries, and fatalities. The proposed project would contribute to promoting DOT’s long-term safety goals through decreasing the likelihood and cost of accidents by reducing truck VMT. The reductions in accidents were estimated by the following crash categories: fatal, non-fatal injury, and property damage using FDOT’s Statewide Mileage, Travel, and Accident Data. Cost estimates by type of accident from US Department of Transportation were then applied to the number of accidents by type to monetize the benefits associated with fewer accidents. The result is an avoidance of 3 fatalities, 60 injuries, and 164 property damage only crashes and monetized safety benefits of $52.0 million over the 30 year analysis. Non-monetized Safety Benefits: As part of the development plan for the ILC, the Canaveral Port Authority has agreed to provide land to the City of Cocoa for the construction of a new fire station. This station would provide additional resources to respond to emergencies in the surrounding communities as well as provide services to the logistics park itself. Page 12 of 22 b. Secondary Criteria i. Innovation The Canaveral Port Authority is using an innovative approach to accelerate the development of the logistics park. Specifically, the port will work with prospective partners to develop design/build agreements to streamline the efficiencies of bringing capacity on line. In addition, working in conjunction with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), two wetland preserve areas will be left untouched; by incorporating these areas into the design, the port has eliminated the need to mitigate negative impacts. ii. Partnership The Canaveral Port Authority strongly supports the development and use of Public/Private Partnerships as part of its on and off port investments. The development of the logistics park will include a variety of partnerships with companies, developers, the city, and the state. The development order in place today demonstrates the state’s and city’s support and commitment to the development of this site and the City of Cocoa has provided a letter of support for the project. CPA continues to work with the City of Cocoa to formalize a partnership agreement. c. Detailed Benefit Cost Analysis The Benefit-Cost Analysis for this application is based upon the reduction in truck VMT resulting from cargo handled through Port Canaveral and the ILC as compared to being handled at competitor ports. The widening and improvement to SR 524 and the construction of internal roadways as part of the ILC development represent critical investments necessary to support an accelerated development of the facility. Without a grant award the project will advance at a much slower rate, delaying and reducing the benefits of the project. The benefit-cost analysis captures only incremental benefits and costs due to the project implementation. The benefits are based on available traffic data, site development orders, planning data, and Port Canaveral staff input. Detailed assumptions and parameters are provided in the tables below. This analysis focused on the five major long-term outcomes outlined by the TIGER program: state of good repair; economic competitiveness; quality of life; sustainability; and safety. Non-monetized and monetized benefits were calculated for an analysis period of 30 years, beginning in 2018 and ending in 2047. Monetized benefits were summed and discounted at rates of 3% and 7% annually. i. Understanding the Market Estimates of reduced truck VMT due to the roadway improvements, the development of the ILC, and expansion of Port Canaveral’s container operation are based on the impact of handling cargo destined for the Orlando Metro Market through these facilities as opposed to competitor ports and facilities in Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Jacksonville, and Savannah. The Orlando Metro Market served by Port Canaveral has conservatively been defined as a six county region including Brevard, Volusia, Indian River, Seminole, Orange, and Osceola. On average, this market can be served by a truck trip of 58 miles; the competitor ports range from 84 miles to 282 miles with an average shorter distance of 70 miles. These distances are illustrated in Figure 4. The difference in mileage yields the avoided truck VMT; the with and without grant conditions impact the time necessary to develop the facilities and attract the cargo (8 years with grant; 15 years without grant). The cargo represents new demand created by the growing Central Florida market. The six county area will see 1.2 million new residents by 2040. Port Canaveral has developed cargo forecasts amounting to 400,000 TEUs by 2040. The ILC, owned and developed by the Canaveral Port Authority, will help generate and serve this cargo. The following summarizes the with grant and without grant scenarios: Page 13 of 22 • The without grant scenario assumes Port Canaveral advances the ILC project on a 15 year schedule. Construction would commence in 2017. Roadway improvements would be restricted to partial accessibility to the site as an initial phase. SR 524 improvements would be initiated after thresholds were exceeded in a reactive nature. The Port would be limited to marketing parts of the site as opposed to the entire site. Amenities would come on line later, further impacting the marketability of the site. Eventually the site would reach full build however it is assumed the delay would result in some traffic lost permanently. • The with grant scenario assumes Port Canaveral advances the ILC on a 7 year schedule. Construction would commence with the grant award in 2017 and the ramp up of cargo would begin in 2018. The roadway improvements (internal and external) would be constructed as part of the initial site development activities, ensuring the entire site was accessible and that the public roadways had sufficient capacity to operate safely and efficiently.

Traffic Forecast Methodology and Assumptions Detailed truck trip forecasts for the ILC were developed by Cambridge Systematics based on site development plans (shown below in Table 6) and port container forecasts provided by the Canaveral Port Authority. These forecasts compare the difference in truck activity with and without the grant; this amounted to a 8 year vs. 15 year development timeline. Table 6: Development Plans by Square Feet for With and Without Grant Conditions Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 Total With Grant Warehouse Office 135000 125000 450000 125000 517000 150000 500000 150000 500000 245000 115000 95000 2557000 550000 Without Grant Warehouse Office 60000 25000 75000 50000 100000 50000 125000 50000 225000 50000 225000 25000 146000 50000 146000 50000 250000 50000 250000 50000 250000 50000 250000 50000 245000 115000 95000 2557000 550000 Source: Canaveral Port Authority The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 8th edition was used to estimate general and truck trips to be generated by the proposed ILC. Based on the development schedules and truck trip generation rates for high-cube warehouse, truck traffic was estimated for with and without grant scenarios, as shown In Table 7. Assumptions applied in the calculation are documented below: 1. As soon as a warehouse is developed at the proposed ILC, truck trips will be generated. 2. When warehouses are developed at the proposed site on a delayed schedule due to transportation infrastructure insufficiency (without grant), the portion of market demand that cannot be served by the proposed site and Port Canaveral will be served by long haul trucks from ILCs serving Port of Savannah (30%), Jaxport (30%), Port Everglades and Port Miami (30% total), and Port Tampa Bay (10%). Therefore, the total number of truck trips generated remains the same under with and without grant scenarios. The difference is the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) under difference scenarios to serve the demand of the Orlando Metro Market.

Methodology and Assumptions for Calculating Non-Monetized Benefits As described in the traffic forecast methodology and assumptions, the difference in traffic patterns between with and without grant scenarios is the VMT generated. The following methodology and assumptions were used to calculate the average truck distance under the two scenarios (illustrated in Figure 5). The resulted average distance is 32 miles for truck trips generated from the proposed ILC, and 102 miles for truck trips from the ILCs of other ports.

Distance A and B for truck trips through the proposed site are measured distances between Orlando and the proposed site location, and between the proposed site location and Port Canaveral. Distance A for truck trips through ILCs of other ports are measured distances between Orlando and the ports assuming all ILCs are closely located around their Ports. 2. X% and Y% are estimated based on the mix of trucks (single-unit trucks vs. combination trucks) generated given the ILC’s distance from the Orlando Metro Market. Source: Canaveral Port Authority and Cambridge Systematics, Inc. Based on the average truck trip distances under with and without grant scenarios, non-monetized benefits of the grant were calculated. Calculations of the non-monetized benefits are provided in Table 8. All factors and values applied in the calculation of these non-monetized benefits are also provided under Table 6.

The TIGER VII project will eliminate 172.0 million truck vehicle miles of travel (VMT) over the analysis period. • Avoided Truck Ton-Miles. At 17.42 tons per loaded truck, the TIGER VII project will eliminate 1.7 billion truck ton-miles over the analysis period. • Avoided Fuel Consumption. The fuel savings from avoided truck travel is estimated at 10.7 million gallons of diesel fuel over 30 years, as estimated based on ton-miles per gallon data. • Net Reduction in Emissions. The production of emissions is proportional to the gallons of fuel burned, the type of fuel, and the specifications of the engine burning the fuel. Emissions avoided were estimated using the California Life-Cycle Benefit/Cost Analysis Model (Version 5.0). The result is a total reduction of: 120 thousand metric tons of CO2, 25 metric tons of VOCs, 110 metric tons of NOx, and 9 tons of PM10, and 1 ton of SOx over the analysis period. • Net Reduction in Large Truck Crashes. Rates of heavy truck crashes per truck VMT were developed from FMCSA and applied to the reduced VMT to estimate the corresponding reduction in large truck crashes. The result is an avoidance of 3 fatalities, 60 injuries, and 164 property damage only crashes over the 30 year analysis.

State of Good Repair is comprised of the value of avoided roadway pavement due to reduced truck VMT. The calculation considers truck VMT avoided and the average pavement damage cost per truck mile of travel. Economic Competitiveness is comprised of the direct travel time savings and operating cost savings to truck drivers based on the number of truck trips generated by the site and the reduced truck trip VMT per trip. Sustainability is the social value of emissions. Safety is comprised of the value of avoided fatal, non-fatal injury, and property damage crashes involving heavy trucks. These benefits are summarized in Table 10.

Project Costs Project costs were provided by Port Canaveral with supplemental analysis conducted by Cambridge Systematics. Costs • Total construction costs for the roadway improvements proposed in the grant application are 24.5 million. The total project costs were estimated by the Canaveral Port Authority. • CPA is requesting 50 percent or $12.25 million in this TIGER VII application. The remaining funds will be provided by CPA and the City of Cocoa. vi. Benefit-Cost Analysis The summary results of the benefit-cost analysis are below in Table 11. The results of the benefit-cost analysis show that the project demonstrates net positive benefits resulting in a benefit-cost ratio of 9.7 using a seven percent discount rate, and 12.3 using a three percent discount rate. Therefore the project will generate $9.70 in long-term benefits per dollar spent over the 30 year analysis period, assuming a seven percent discount rate.

Foxx U.S. Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 Dear Secretary Foxx: I am pleased to provide this letter in support of the Canaveral Port Authority’s efforts to obtain a TIGER grant. The goal of their proposed project, Inland Port Logistics Center, will facilitate the creation of jobs, assist local businesses and create new cargo business for Central Florida. This project promotes the President’s Ladders of Opportunity. I respectfully request your consideration of this organization’s application for federal funding. The Canaveral Port Authority is growing its cargo operation. Future growth will be dependent on logistics services and warehouse/distribution center capacity. The Inland Port Logistics Center will provide part of this capacity but roadway improvements are required. These roadway improvements will accommodate efficient access to the Inland Port which will offer superior logistics, the availability of large buildings, close proximity to rail and highways, ample truck parking, less traffic congestion and economic incentives. Furthermore, funding for this project will have a profound impact on the local businesses in Brevard County, all of Central Florida and the Florida east coast. Again, I encourage your consideration of this worthy cause. If I can be of further assistance in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at the address below. Sincerely, Tom Goodson State Representative, District 50 Agriculture and Natural Resources Subcommittee, Chair State Affairs Committee ** Local and Federal Affairs Committee Insurance and Banking Subcommittee ** Energy and Utilities Subcommittee May 6, 2015 The Honorable Anthony Foxx Secretary U.S. Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington DC 20590 Dear Secretary Foxx: The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) is writing to express its strong support for public seaports’ applications for this year’s TIGER awards. AAPA has been a strong advocate for the program since its inception in 2009. TIGER has made real improvements in our nation’s maritime transportation system and needed investments in our freight infrastructure. Founded in 1912, the AAPA is the unified and collective voice of the seaport industry in the Americas. AAPA empowers port authorities, maritime industry partners and service providers to serve their global customers and create economic and social value for their communities. Our activities, resources and partnerships connect, inform and unify seaport leaders and maritime professionals in all segments of the industry who deliver prosperity around the western hemisphere. Our letter today is on behalf of our U.S. members. AAPA’s recently released freight infrastructure report, the “State of Freight” outlines the integral role that TIGER has played in integrating ports into the planning process and has helped facilitate the role ports and TIGER have contributed in developing the freight network. With over 95% response rate to the survey, 71% of our AAPA ports say they are working with their state on their state freight plans and 63% are part of freight advisory committees. Port eligibility for TIGER and available funding has driven this engagement. One of the continued values of TIGER from a maritime perspective is that it leverages considerable private, state and local investments in seaport infrastructure. Since 2009 TIGER grants have leveraged over $700 million in maritime projects alone. Ports are incubators for public private partnerships and the combination of tools and the availability of TIGER funding will allow our ports to facilitate and finance projects that might otherwise lay dormant. For example, these grants have helped fund seaport intermodal connectors and facilities (including rail, road and short sea shipping); wharf and dock rehabilitation and expansion; improvements in yards, piers, breakwaters and cranes; and improvements overall to rail movements throughout the U.S. to improve freight mobility. American seaports and their private-sector partners annually spend more than $9 billion collectively in marine terminal capital improvements that help handle freight and cruise passengers more efficiently. TIGER grant investments in port projects move these projects forward. The governments of Canada and Mexico are making large investments in their freight transportation system, including their seaports. Goods imported and exported do not need to go through U.S. ports. If we do not maintain our infrastructure, more freight will flow through neighboring countries. In order to keep these important maritime jobs at home, the U.S. government must make significant investments in seaport infrastructure. The “State of Freight” survey called for $28.9 billion in need of freight landside infrastructure investments by 2025. TIGER is the primary tool the federal government has in helping ports make landside improvements. As the Department of Transportation begins to evaluate the applications for this seventh round of TIGER funds, we strongly urge you to provide 25 percent or more of the funds for seaport, last mile freight related projects to help maintain and expand the maritime infrastructure that is so critical to this nation’s exports and imports, which are vital to our nation’s economy and standard of living, as well as U. S. jobs. Sincerely, Kurt J. Nagle President and CEO 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Bldg.
