Transcript California Integrated Logistics Center

Linking Northern, Central and Southern
California to the world and the nation
Shafter Intermodal Facility
Statewide benefits:
Northern, Central and Southern California
Increases current state logistic capacities
Reduces current transportation inefficiencies
Maximizes current state infrastructure resources
Saves current jobs and creates new ones
Is proactive and protects California importers
and exporters
Shows environmental and economic leadership

Current Issues
Railroads in California are not used to move freight intrastate
Railroads only want long haul trains-500 miles and longer
State Amtrak subsidies support passengers on a Freight Rail
network rather than High Speed Rail network
State Amtrak subsidies result in windfall capital
improvements for railroads-$2.8 Billion invested or reserved
Railroads deny short-haul freight to make room for current
and future subsidized Amtrak trains
California goods movement is totally dependent on California
highways using trucks
The wasteful practice
of repositioning empty rail cars
to Southern California daily
TCIF 1-B Funding
• Project sponsor – City of Shafter
• Total project cost - $30,000,000
• Key project benefits:
– Diversion of freight moving port trucks to unit trains thus reducing the
emissions and infrastructure decay
– Ability to transport export agricultural goods via rail that currently reach its
designation via truck (farm to market) is a high economic implication
– Only Intra-state goods movement via rail
– The efficiencies of balancing import and export loads, shorting vessel offloading
time, the economies of scale that a train has over trucks benefits the state
economically
– An economic solution to an environmental problem
– Impact of air pollution on the health of San Joaquin Valley residents is put at $3
billion a year price tag
– Ability to come on line in 2008
Empty trucks are
passing empty trucks
It’s wasteful, inefficient &
harmful to Californians

Environmental issues continue to grow
U.S.’s top 10 smog-polluted cities
1. Bakersfield
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside
3. Visalia-Porterville
4. Fresno-Madera
5. Merced
6. Houston-Baytown-Huntsville, Texas
7. Sacramento-Arden-Arcade-Truckee, Calif. and Nev.
8. Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
9. New York-Newark-Bridgeport, N.Y., N.J., Conn. and Pa.
10. Philadelphia-Camden-Vineland, Pa., N.J., Del. and Md.
To have no action and to continue the status quo, the San Joaquin
Valley will endure increased levels of NOx, CO and CO2
emissions, infrastructure decay and soaring medical costs due to
increased air related illnesses
The Intermodal Facility reductions could occur as early as 2008,
without relying on technology breakthrough or implementation.
CARB’s emissions reduction program will serve to enhance the
Intermodal Facility benefits.
California is a fixed playing field that will not change

Oakland “first port of call” allows:
• 1. Oakland access to Los
Angeles via Shafter
• 2. More imports travel the
Overland Route eastward
• 3. Northern and Central
California importers benefit
with quicker transit times
• 4. Southern California
importers benefit with options
and same transit times
• 5. Reduces the wasteful
practice of repositioning
empty rail cars to Southern
California daily
Overland Route
Shafter
How does Oakland improve market
share?
• Attracting “first port of call” vessels from Asia
– Improved rail access without more trucks
• Shafter for Central and Southern California
• Central corridor service for Reno, Denver and Chicago
• Providing faster turn around time for vessels
