The Port of Los Angeles has embarked on a Port-wide Transportation Master Plan to address the transportation system of the Port of Los Angeles with an overview of the neighboring Port of Long Beach, as well as the surrounding community and the five-county Greater Los Angeles region. The Port recognizes the responsibility it has to look after the health and welfare of Port of Los Angeles Port-wide Transportation Master Plan The Port of Los Angeles is bounded by two communities, San Pedro and Wilmington, both of which are in close proximity to port operations. One of the challenges presented to the Ports is to provide an efficient goods movement system that minimizes environmental impacts and environmental injustices to local residents. 1.1 Purpose The Port of Los Angeles Port-wide Transportation Master Plan has the primary purpose of planning for projected cargo growth so that the impacts of increasing cargo volumes are understood, and transportation improvements can be analyzed, developed and evaluated to address these impacts. The Transportation Master Plan analyzes the combined transportation system of the two San Pedro Bay Ports and the regional highway system and makes recommendations for system improvements focused on Port of Los Angeles facilities. Cargo growth projections for San Pedro Bay have been prepared based on macroeconomic analyses that consider factors such as population growth and trends in global trade. The cargo forecast currently used by the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach is the San Pedro Bay Ports Long-Term Cargo Forecast (Mercer Management Consulting, 2001). This forecast anticipates cargo nearly tripling by the year 2020.
