Port of Los Angeles Port-wide Transportation Master Plan

The Port of Los Angeles has experienced significant growth in recent history and cargo forecasts suggest that continued growth should be anticipated. No matter how well cargo is handled at the docks it could be constrained on congested highways and railways once it leaves the terminal. In addition, some of the most significant quality of life impacts to neighboring communities occur as a result of transportation issues. The primary purpose of this planning study is to plan for projected cargo growth so that the impacts of increasing cargo volumes on the transportation system are understood and addressed. This paper gives a broad overview of the entire transportation master planning process which developed unique approaches and planning tools to address challenges.
