• How can this trend be slowed or reversed?– Collaborative effort of all stakeholders:
ports, carriers, terminal operators, labor unions, rail operators, truckers and environmental constituencies
• Not an easy task
• Essential that parties miti-gate costs and complexityof transportation system
• Everyone’s best interestto ensure region remain vital gateway
The Role of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in World Trade
• Measure D – concern that funds historically used for port purposes will be diverted to other city projects or initiatives
– The City should acknowledge that the Port operates in a very competitive
commercial environment
• Retirement of Dick Steinke
– Successor must demonstrate comparable leadership as advocate for economic and environmental port issues, not political appointment
