Implementing a Statewide Goods Movement Strategy and Performance Measurement of Goods Movement in California.

摘要

The project objective was to create structural and non-structural solutions to improve capacity utilization of Intermodal Corridors of Economic Significance in the combined Ports Los Angeles-Long Beach. In addition, this effort tested and validated Transportation System Performance Measurement for Commercial Goods Movement and International Trade as a means of monitoring and determining the cost-effectiveness of productivity improvement measures. The Center for International Trade and Transportation has sponsored a survey of physical, operational, and institutional constraints affecting utilization of capacity in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and related intermodal facilities. It has also established a permanent Policy and Planning Committee. This project developed common goals and objectives for a California Goods Movement Strategy by translating the results of both CITT industry surveys and Caltrans' industry data and observations into a specific set of actions. CITT port and intermodal productivity survey results and Caltrans data were translated into a hierarchical and sequential candidate list of action items for industry review by CITT Policy and Planning Group, as well as a broader industry review. We offer a review and analysis of suitability of the traditional and emerging performance indicators for application to measurement of goods movement.
