Basically, this graphic shows port container traffic in the U.S. It shows the U.S. port container volumes in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs)
The National I-10 Corridor is the commerce tether to the largest container portfacility in the U.S., the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The map above shows our nation’s current and future maritime trade volumes that international commerce. Today, the ports along the I-10 (LA/LB and Houston) handle international commerce volumes roughly equivalent to all other U.S. Ports. In the future, the growth of international maritime trade through just the Ports of LA/LB will surpass the volumes of all other U.S. ports combined.

National I-10 Freight Study GoalsAssess the importance of freight moving in the corridor to the economy of the corridor states and the rest of the nationIdentify current and future traffic operations and safety problems along the corridor that impede freight flowsIdentify and evaluate strategies to facilitate the efficient movement of freight in the corridor
In 2001 the eight states transversed by the I-10, pooled their funds to conduct a freight study of the corridor. The National I-10 Corridor Study examined commerce in the corridor, including:•The freight related demands on the corridor•Various freight derived congestion relief strateies•Economic benefits of freight in the corridor

Level Of Service base case (do nothing)
The corridor was evaluated using a measure of congestion called “Level of Service.”
LOS is given a letter designation ranging from A to F (free flow to heavily congested), with LOS D considered inmost urban areas where congestion is common as the limit of acceptable operation, and LOS D as the beginning of unacceptable operations in rural locations. For example, LOS can be related to the grading scale of a report card: A = excellent; B = good; C = average; D = below average; E = needs improvement; and F = failing. Utilizing procedures identified in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual and available traffic data from the 2000 HPMS, level of service was determined for the entire length of I-10.

Potential Strategies Evaluated1. Traditional capacity enhancements (baseline)2. Truck productivity3. Multimodal railroad diversion4. Multimodal waterway diversion5. Urban truck by-pass6. Auto/truck Separation7. Intelligent transportation Systems (ITS)
The study modeled the impact seven different strategies for relieving congestion. The first scenario was based upon well developed impacts from traditional capacity strategies of adding additional lanes. The other six scenarios focused on freight options, which were then compared to the results of the traditional widening straties.

This first scenario impacts slide shows the results of individual modal strategies including: 1) Lift truck weight limits to 97,000 lbs, 2) diverting selected highway shipments to rail, and 3) diverting selected highway shipments to short sea shipping along the Gulf Coast. While none of these strategies by themselves offers extensive congestions relief, taken together they do offer viable options for capacity enhancement, with limited public investment compared to traditional highway expansion.

In 2004, the I-10 Coalition asked Wilbur Smith Associates to undertake the development of an ITS Concept of Operations for the Corridor using funds left over from the initial study. The purpose of the concept of operations is to:•Identify the key stakeholders and develop communication protocols•Define at a high-level, the desired improvements across various operating systems•Develop the foundation for lower-level system improvement descriptions•Define the major user classes and their activities

What we and the I-10 member states have learned to this point in our 4 year journey toward identifying congestion solutions for this immensely important Interstate Corridors, is that:• Long term - traditional solutions are not financially viable• Freight specific strategies can play an important role in long-term congestion mitigation• The best approach will use a variety of strategies and solutions• New funding approaches will be necessary to achieve the long term goals of the corridor
