of harbor and channel deepening to 50 feet MLLW. This $410 million dredging project spanned and almost 12 years, and will ensure the Port can accommodate the next generation of post-Panamax container vessels. Cleaning the Air: The Port is implementing its Maritime Air Quality Improvement Plan (MAQIP), which is our comprehensive plan to reduce emissions by 85 percent by 2020. It also adopted the Comprehensive Truck Management Program (CTMP), which in part bans pre_2004 trucks from serving the port that have not been retrofitted to reduce diesel particulate matter. The CTMP does not introduce any new fees, minimizes bureaucratic burdens, and allows both independent owner operators and employee drivers to continue to serve the Port. New Terminal Partnership: The Port Commission approved a $700 million, 50-year agreement with Ports America to operate Berths 20-24. This landmark private-public partnership addresses the changing dynamics of container transportation, and puts the port on a firm footing for future growth. Ports America formally opened its terminal on January 4, 2010, and the Port wishes them great success. Collaboration: The Port has joined the five other major West Coast ports, together with Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF Railway, to create the U.S. West Coast Collaboration. This group, while continuing to actively compete with each other for business, will collectively market the advantages of the West Coast as America’s gateway to the international community of ocean carriers and beneficial cargo owners. The group will also advocate for greater strategic focus and federal funding for transportation infrastructure projects. Intermodal Improvements: Union Pacific Railroad announced the completion of trackage improvements and bridge and tunnel clearance modifications to the Donner Summit route. This will provide faster and more efficient transit between the Port and America’s heartland. BNSF Railway is also continuing its improvements in the Tehachapi Pass that will further strengthen Oakland’s rail network to and from inland markets.
