Summary Description of Project: This section must be completed. Do not refer to text within the application form. In no more than 1000 characters, describe the purpose of your project and the expected outcomes.

Since the original Freight Master Plan was adopted in 2006, many other planning initiatives were completed and not reflected in the current FMP. Since 2016, population and employment growth and increasing urban densities have created more freight traffic and greater competition for limited public right-of-way space. Changes in technology and the advent of e-commerce is having dramatic impacts on last mile deliveries and goods movement logistics. The FMP Update will address these issues to help maintain the efficient flow of goods and contribute to regional competitiveness of local industry. The Freight Master Plan update will identify new freight system needs and assess key trends and changes to the freight logistics industry, including private sector last-mile delivery services, clean/zero-emissions vehicle technologies, e-commerce and direct delivery services, multi-modal street design guidelines and trends in regional goods movement. The FMP Update will adopted by City Council.

2018 TGM Grant Application

Jurisdiction: City of Portland

Project Title: Portland Freight Master Plan Update

Eligibility Requirements

The following three eligibility requirements are reviewed on a pass/fail basis. Applications found to not meet each of these requirements will not be scored against the award criteria and will not be awarded a grant.

1. Clear Transportation Relationship

A proposed project must have a clear transportation relationship and produce transportation benefits. A project must entail analysis, evaluation of alternative scenarios, development of implementation measures, and public involvement that results in a transportation plan, land use plan, or other product that addresses a transportation problem, need, opportunity, or issue of local or regional importance. 1000 character limit.

The 2006 Freight Master Plan was adopted by City Council to provide a roadmap for managing freight movement and commercial delivery of goods and services in Portland. The policies, programs and projects in the Freight Master Plan directly inform the City’s Transportation System Plan which is the City’s primary transportation policy document. The Freight Master Plan update will evaluate current transportation plans, studies and policies to identify constraints and system needs and to develop viable transportation solutions. The current freight network classifications will be updated to align with the City's currently adopted TSP Update classifications. The FMP will also assess the need for new street connections for serving under utilized industrial land to promote middle wage job growth. The updated Freight Master Plan will serve as the long-range vision to guide transportation policy and investment decisions for addressing identified system needs in the City of Portland.

2. Adoption of Products to meet Project Objectives

A proposed project must include preparation of an adoption-ready product or products that lead to a local policy decision and that directly address the project objectives, such as a transportation system plan, comprehensive plan amendment, land use plan, code amendment, implementation program, or intergovernmental agreement. Projects are expected to include adoption hearings or will be part of a larger project to be adopted. 800 character limit.

The Freight Master Plan update will help ensure a more balanced multi-modal transportation system by maintaining freight mobility at the same level as other modes within Portland’s transportation system. The FMP update will also provide increased efficiency of industrial land uses by identifying strategic infrastructure investment needs which is a critical element for industry in their ability to receive and deliver goods in a timely manner. Emerging trends and technologies in the freight and logistics industries will also be evaluated to determine how they can help meet the City’s transportation and Climate Change goals and objectives for reducing GHG emissions. The FMP update will be guided by a robust stakeholder involvement process and be recommended to Portland City Council for adopt

3. Support of Local Officials

A proposed project must clearly demonstrate that local officials, both the primary applicant and any co-applicants, understand the purpose of the grant application and support the project objectives. A letter or resolution of support from the governing body of the applying jurisdiction (e.g. City Council, Board of Commissioners, or Transit Board) must be submitted with the application to meet this requirement. 400 character limit.

2018 TGM Grant Application

Jurisdiction: City of Portland

Project Title: Portland Freight Master Plan Update

Award Criteria

Applications are scored on a range of criteria and receive up to 100 points. Projects are selected primarily based on the points scored; also considered are the grant amounts requested, the estimated amounts TGM believes may be required to complete a project, the amount of grant dollars available for award within a geographic region, and the balance of grant dollars between Category 1 and Category 2 projects. A scoring consideration is ensuring a fair distribution of grant funds to smaller or economically distressed communities.

1. Proposed project addresses a need and supports TGM objectives (up to 40 points)

The project clearly and effectively addresses a local or regional transportation or transportation-related land use issue, problem, need, or opportunity and will achieve one or more of the TGM objectives.

1. Provide transportation choices to support communities with the balanced and interconnected transportation networks necessary for mobility, equity, and economic growth. 1.2 Appropriately sited, designed, and managed local, regional, and state transportation facilities and services that support the movement of goods and provide for services. One of the challenges facing Portland is how to accommodate the anticipated population and employment growth in the Central City while also enhancing the quality of the urban environment. Portland’s Central City is the core of a regional transportation system that serves a diverse economy and regional population of over 2 million people. The Central City is the densest area in the region and the 2040 Regional Growth Management plan and Portland’s Comprehensive Plan call for the Central City to continue to add residents and jobs over the next 20 years. Greater density will increase the overall volume of goods delivered in the Central City and the continued demand for efficient and reasonably priced freight delivery services to meet customer needs. Among the many ripple effects of this growth will be an increase in the demand for products and services—and the freight traffic to deliver them. In addition to more vehicle traffic, there will be increased competition for street space among transit vehicles, trucks, pedestrians, and bicyclists. According to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, the last mile delivery accounts for 28% of all transportation costs. This will only increase unless we develop solutions. While Portland has made substantial investments in public transportation infrastructure and the Central City has one of the highest bicycle and public transit mode splits in the country, the city’s economic viability and quality of life is under pressure by ever increasing traffic congestion. The cost of congestion to the businesses sector is also a growing burden in respect to lost productivity and increased cost of goods delivery. The Freight Master Plan update will include a focused effort on the Central City to address these growing challenges. PBOT staff has already prepared a concept for a Freight and Logistics Vision for the Central City which will inform the Freight Master Plan update process. Some of these concepts include creating a last mile logistics and zero/low emissions freight delivery system that supports efficient goods movement while enhancing Portland’s status as a healthy, thriving multimodal community. This will be accomplished by utilizing Urban Automation, Electric-Hybrid Delivery Vehicles, Intelligent Infrastructure, and prioritized use of right-of-way for the efficient storage, movement and delivery of goods to and between close-in industrial and warehousing districts and the downtown core. The FMP update will also evaluate trends in e-commerce and impacts on last-mile deliveries in the Central City in respect to traffic congestion and travel demand, delivery vehicle size and parking demand within public right-of-way.

Other focus areas that will be addressed is incorporating the City's Vision Zero goals and objectives into measurable actions and activities for implementation in the Freight Master Plan update. Another critical area to be addressed will be identifying the priority transportation freight routes as part of the regions Resiliency Planning efforts in the event of a major seismic event. Addressing these and other challenges as part of the Freight Master Plan update will provide a more managed and efficient freight delivery system designed to better serve the City of Portland and the greater Metro region. 3. Support economic vitality by planning for land uses and the movement of people and goods. 3.2 Well-located and accessible industrial and employment centers. Portland has historically been a center for trade and commerce in the Pacific Northwest and, because of its connections to the interstate highway network, marine and rail terminals and an international airport, has grown into a major west coast freight hub for domestic and international trade. Portland’s freight hub is characterized by over 12,000 acres of industrial land surrounding the Portland Harbor and the Portland International Airport, which accommodates most of the region’s heavy industrial activities - marine terminals, rail yards, major manufacturing and warehousing. Based on the Port of Portland Commodity Flow Forecast, freight tonnage moved in the Portland region will double by 2030 and more freight will be moved by trucks than other modes. Portland’s first Freight Master Plan (2006) recognizes the need to ensure the transportation network can support the projected increased demand for freight movement and also be able to take advantage of economic opportunities by capitalizing on Portland’s inherent geographic advantage and existing multimodal freight network. Today, freight movement continues to be a central element of Portland’s economy. The recently adopted 2035 Comprehensive Plan establishes the long‐range industrial land use and economic policies for guiding future growth. Policies in Comprehensive Plan support traded sector growth, expanding exports and retaining Portland’s position as an innovative industrial and commercial center and a West Coast trade gateway. Specific policies call for protecting multimodal freight-hubs in the Portland Harbor, Columbia Corridor, and Brooklyn Yard, and also policies that encourage freight-oriented industrial development to locate where it can maximize the use of and support reinvestment in multimodal freight corridors. The Freight Master Plan update will strongly support this objective by planning for the projected growth in freight tonnage and identifying specific actions and strategies for advancing the industrial land use and economic policies identified in the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. Recent studies by the Portland Bureau of Planning & Sustainability have shown a trend of decreasing family-wage middle income jobs both nationally and in the Portland region. In Portland many of the remaining middle-wage jobs are in the transportation and warehousing sectors which are held by non-whites at a higher proportion then other economic sectors within the City. These jobs provide a ladder of opportunity for those with less than a four-year college degree and are supported by investments in freight-related transportation infrastructure improvements. The FMP update will address the link of growing middle-wage jobs through freight-related transportation investments to help meet the City’s equity goals and providing equal economic opportunities for all Portland residents. Another area of focus in the FMP update will be identifying new transportation connections (or barriers to be removed) that are needed to facilitate development of underutilized industrial land that will grow the City's middle wage job base. With the limited supply of shovel ready industrial land within the City of Portland, providing improved access to our existing underutilized industrial sites will help ensure adequate land supply to meet our future growth needs and reduce the need for UGB expansion. 5. Promote environmental stewardship through sustainable land use and transportation planning. 5.1 Transportation systems and land use patterns that protect valuable natural resources, promote energy

efficiency, and reduce emissions of air pollution and greenhouse gases. A primary focus of the Freight Master Plan update will be to incorporate the key principles and recommendations from the Central City Sustainable Freight Strategy and the companion Freight and Logistics Vision for the 21st Century previously developed by PBOT staff. In 2009, City Council adopted the Climate Action Plan which sets targets for reducing carbon emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. Recognizing that moving goods and people accounts for nearly half of the greenhouse gas emissions in Multnomah County, the Climate Action Plan highlights the importance of improving the efficiency of freight movement in the Portland region. The anticipated increase in urban density supported by adopted City and regional land use policies will create a more diverse and mixed use Portland. One of the challenges will be delivering groceries, clothing, office supplies and on-line products while garbage, packages and locally manufactured products need to be shipped out. Not only will the amount of freight movement increase, Portlanders will prefer that it moves with less noise, parking space and fuel consumption. In developing potential strategies for implementing the Climate Action Plan and accommodating freight movement, PBOT staff initiated a planning process to identify sustainable freight practices implemented in other urban areas around the world and their applicability in Portland. This process called upon local freight experts and others to recommend sustainable strategies tailored for Portland. The following summarizes the key findings and recommendations from the Sustainable Freight Strategy: • Sustainability is directly associated with productivity; fewer trips and delivery miles are achieved with full loads. • Freight carriers reduce their carbon footprint by improving fleet performance. • Customers are already adapting their shipping/receiving schedules to avoid peak hours of traffic. • Existing inadequate supply of on-street loading and unloading spaces erodes efficiency. • Restricting truck size does not necessarily lead to efficiency; one large truck can be more sustainable than multiple smaller trucks with respect to fuel use, emissions produced, and the number of on-street loading areas needed. • Encourage development of unattended delivery depots and “last mile” solutions • Update zoning to allow freight distribution districts and increase industrial employment density. • Pilot an off-hour delivery program for the central city area. • Explore opportunities for the city to create incentives for electric-hybrid delivery vehicles and charging stations. • Make rail, barge, and multi-modal freight options more attractive. • Identify key infrastructure investments to prioritize the movement of zero/low emission freight vehicles. • Measure the environmental impacts of e-commerce and last-mile delivery traffic on Portland neighborhoods. Through the analysis and inclusion of the above findings and recommendations from the Sustainable Freight Strategy, the Freight Master Plan update will support the City in developing a more sustainable land use and transportation system that promotes environmental stewardship.

2. Proposed project is timely and urgent (up to 25 points)

The application demonstrates timeliness and urgency. The project is needed now to:address pressing local transportation and land use issues;make amendments to local plans or regulations necessitated by changes in federal regulations, state requirements, or regional plans;make amendments to local plans or regulations necessitated by changes that were not anticipated in previous plans including growth or lack of growth, changes in land use patterns, or changes in available fundingbuild on, complement, or take a necessary step toward completing or implementing other high priority community initiatives, including supporting a Governor's Regional Solutions team priority; orresolve transportation- or land use-related issues affecting the project readiness of local, regional, or state transportation projects for which funding is expected to be obligated within the near future.

The City of Portland is home to over 600,000 residents and projected to grow by an additional 280,0000 residents by2035. The recently adopted 2035 Comprehensive Plan and current Transportation System Plan Update establishes the long-range land use and transportation policy vision on how the City will accommodate this growth and provide a high-quality and equitable transportation system for both existing and future residents. A key component

of the Comprehensive Plan and TSP Update is the need to plan for and accommodate safe and efficient goods movement and delivery throughout the City to support increased population and employment growth. The increased urban density supported by adopted City and regional land use policies is creating a much more diverse and mixed use urban environment. A major challenge the City is now facing is how to accommodate the increased demand for, and volume of goods being delivered while also meeting the adopted goals of the Climate Action Plan of reducing GHG emissions and improving freight movement efficiency. Among the many ripple effects of rising population and employment growth is increased freight traffic and greater competition for limited street space among transit vehicles, autos, trucks, pedestrians and bicycles. As stewards of the public right-of-way, an efficient goods delivery system is critical for maintaining and enhancing Portland’s status as a healthy, thriving multimodal community. While the update of the Freight Master Plan has been needed for several years, it is especially timely as a direct follow-up to the 2035 Comprehensive Plan and TSP Update. In addition, Metro is currently updating its 2010 Regional Freight Plan by developing a Regional Freight Strategy, which will be part of the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan Update. The current Freight Master Plan was funded by a TGM grant and adopted by City Council eleven years ago in May 2006. Since then, over a third of the 131 identified capital projects have been completed or fully funded which range from highway, street, bridge, system management, rail and marine freight system improvements. Over thirty actions and activities were also identified based on the Plan’s three core principles of Mobility, Livability, and Healthy Economy. Extensive progress has been made in implementing many of these actions including completing the Street Design Guidelines for Trucks (adopted in 2008), the TGM funded Central Eastside Street Plan (adopted in 2010), and the St. Johns Truck Strategy Phase II (2013). Other freight initiatives recently completed include the TGM funded Portland Truck Parking and Loading Plan, and the Regional Over-Dimensional Truck Route Study. However, since 2006 many other related planning initiatives have also been completed that are not currently reflected in the 2006 Freight Master Plan. Many of these initiative have direct impacts on the City’s ability to accommodate efficient freight movement and to effectively address livability issues created by increased urban density and growth by identifying new capital project needs and actions that are critical to maintaining our quality of life, and which address the changing nature of goods movement logistics. These initiatives include: • Working Harbor Reinvestment Strategy (2007) • Street Design Guidelines for Trucks and Other Large Vehicles (2008) • City of Portland and Multnomah County Climate Action Plan (2009) • Portland Bicycle Plan for 2030 (2009) • 2035 Regional Freight Plan (2010) • Oregon Freight Plan (2011) • Airport Futures (2011) • Portland Sustainable Freight Strategy (2012) • Port of Portland Rail Plan (2013) • Portland Region Westside Freight Access and Logistics Analysis (2013) • International Trade and Logistics Initiative (2015) • Port of Portland Commodity Flow Forecast (2015) • City of Portland Vision Zero Action Plan (2016) • Portland Truck Loading and Parking Plan (2016) • Regional Over-Dimensional Truck Route Study (2017) • Oregon Freight Intermodal Connector Study (2017) • ODOT Freight Highway Bottlenecks Project (2017) • Oregon Freight Plan (2017) • Metro 2018 Regional Freight Strategy (currently in progress) • Columbia-Lombard Multimodal Corridor Study (a currently funded TGM project) The two most recent policy documents that need to be reflected in Portland’s FMP update include the 2017 Oregon Freight Plan and Metro’s current Regional Freight Strategy update. The Oregon Freight Plan (OFP) was amended to maintain compliance with federal requirements and adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission in November 2017. The OFP addresses FAST Act requirements such as an inventory of freight transportation facilities

with mobility needs, a list of critical urban NHS freight corridors, a five-year fiscally constrained investment plan, and project performance measures. The Federal Highway Administration certified the amended OFP on December 1, 2017. The draft Regional Freight Strategy, which is currently in the public review process, will provide a coordinated regional strategy for enhancing freight and goods movement in the Portland Metro region. The updated Regional Freight Strategy will prioritize freight investments based on clear regional priorities and documenting existing system conditions and key trends and challenges. When adopted by Metro Council later this year the Regional Freight Strategy will include an updated freight vision, supporting policies, freight needs and evaluation framework with performance standard, and an update freight investment strategy and action plan. Another current planning effort that will help inform the FMP Update is the TGM funded Columbia Blvd-Lombard St Multimodal Corridor Study which will identify recommend transportation system improvements along one of the most critical freight corridors in the region. This TGM funded project will kick off this summer and be completed just in time to incorporate its findings and recommendations into the FMP Update process. As a prelude to updating the Freight Master Plan, PBOT and BPS staff are currently conducting an assessment of trends and innovations in the Trade and Logistics industry in the Portland region. This involves holding a series of focus group meetings with members of the Portland Freight Committee, Port of Portland staff and Industrial Real Estate Brokers and Developers to determine what technological innovations and industry trends are shaping the freight and logistics industry and what changes we should be focusing on when updating the Freight Master Plan. Some of the specific questions we are asking include: 1. Growth – Is your business growing in the Portland area and what local factors are most important that could increase or constrain that growth? 2. Innovation – What business innovations and new technologies are changing the trade and logistics industry and how are you responding to remain competitive? 3. Labor market – What job trends, challenges, and new strategies are you seeing for hiring, training, and wages in trade and logistics? 4. Infrastructure – What types of local freight infrastructure are most important to the industry and what freight infrastructure projects have worked well? Incorporating the technical findings and policy updates from these previous and current planning initiatives is both timely and critical for addressing the many challenges facing the City from population and employment growth, increasing urban density, and changes in technology for accommodating safe and efficient goods movement.

3. Proposed project approach is reasonable (up to 20 points)

The application demonstrates a clear approach to achieving the expected outcome and results in consideration for adoption. Where substantial coordination with other local, regional, and state planning efforts occurs (or will need to occur), the mechanisms and responsibilities for the coordination are clear.

Task 1: Project Start-Up, Management and Coordination. (Month 1) Provide overall coordination of public and private stakeholder outreach and constituent response. Establish a technical advisory committee (TAC) and develop an engagement process with the existing Portland Freight Committee. Provide overall project management including timeline, budget, coordination meetings, project delivery, progress reports and billing. Task 2: Existing Conditions, Trends and Background Analysis (Months 2-6) Based on the previously prepared planning initiatives referenced above, document and assess the existing conditions of the freight network identifying the known system gaps and deficiencies, major barriers, safety and connectivity issues. Prepare a “state of the freight system” report of the existing freight network. Conduct in depth research on the impacts of e-commerce and changes in logistics practices based on the following subtasks:

I. Research Expected Growth (2015 to 2035) in E-Commerce – Nationally and Citywide Assemble and organize official existing and future forecast data of e-Commerce. Report on current e-Commerce activity within the City of Portland and future activity in terms of volume, dollar value, commodity types, delivery requirements, modes utilized (truck, rail, aviation), origin/destination (internal, external, and through City limits), and up to three e-commerce transportation profiles: e.g., domestic express mail package by single carrier, multiple modes, and international delivery. II. Conduct Interviews with Freight Service Providers and Report on Trends in Logistics Practices Conduct research Interviews on the logistics practices listed below with respect to how they’re being used, the benefits to their use, how they may affect delivery to customers, and how it may change the volume and type of truck traffic on City roads. Interviews will be held with up to ten City of Portland carriers, shippers, and freight forwarders about the feasibility/likelihood of their using new practices, their anticipated use of current and emerging logistics practices, and how that may affect the volume of product moved by truck on City roadways. • Warehouse automation (i.e., robotics in place of humans to collect and store materials) • Connected fleet management (identify where cargoes are using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) that can make changes to other modes, warehouses, etc., • Outsourcing warehousing and distribution facilities through generalized providers • Uberisation of freight transportation (what role Uber/Lift services play in freight deliveries) • Virtual logistics teams (access talent globally; reduce travel expenses and real-estate needs) • 3-D printing (reducing the need to ship goods as they can be manufactured on-site) • Drones and Autonomous Vehicle technologies (what future roles can they play in deliveries) • Connected fleet management/Platooning • Electrification of trucks for short to medium distance deliveries. III. Updated Freight Forecasts Provide revised freight forecasts and trip tables based on findings from subtasks I and II above and baseline (2015 and 2035) truck forecasts produced by PBOT ‘s forecast model. Review freight forecasts against revised trip tables and establish a new trip tables. Model outputs will be presented by geographic area (i.e., Central City, North Portland, CEID, Columbia Corridor) and by vehicle classification. Prepare accompanying analysis and narrative about the effect of e-commerce and changed logistics practices on future goods movements in the City of Portland. IV. Assess the Effect of E-Commerce and Technology Trends on City TSP and Capital Investments Compare truck volume traffic used to develop investment priorities in PBOT Pavement Management System and CIP and PBOT travel demand forecast model and make recommended revisions as necessary. Follow up with a review as to whether these trends or volume changes suggest that PBOT make mapping changes to TSP classifications and Over-Dimensional Truck routes, as well as whether revisions to curb loading and off-street loading requirements are warranted in the Central City. II. Assess the Effect of E-Commerce and Technology Trends on City Sustainability Goals Complete an analysis of how the trends in e-commerce and logistics practices may impact the City’s ability to reach its Climate Action Plan goals related to the transportation sector. The changes to the trip tables of the PBOT travel demand forecast model described in Task III above will provide the technical output for this analysis. In concert with these changes, prepare preliminary recommendations for how the City can participate in reducing the carbon footprint of truck traffic. Task 3: Policy/Plan/Program Review (Month 2-6) Review the status of the recommended capital projects, actions and activities in the 2006 Freight Master Plan and other related initiatives prepared in the intervening years. Review freight-related policies and street classification system in the Transportation System Plan and policies in the 2035 Comprehensive Plan and assess the level to which they support both City, Regional and State freight mobility goals and objectives. Task 4: Define Needs, Conflicts, and Opportunities (Month 7-10) Review and expand on the information and assessment from Tasks 2 and 3 above to identify freight system needs and to identify critical gaps and deficiencies in the multi-modal freight network. Conduct stakeholder review and

outreach to further assess freight system needs and conflicts and identify opportunities for improvements.

To: TGM Grant Committee

RE: 2018 Transportation & Growth Management Program Funding Requests On behalf of the Portland Freight Committee (PFC), we are writing to express our support for the City of Portland’s Freight Master Plan Update and urge that the requested $250,000 in TGM funding be provided to conduct this important planning project. The Portland Freight Master Plan was adopted over 12 years ago and conditions and needs have changed significantly during that time. Many other freight initiatives and related studies have been completed that are not reflected in the current Freight Master Plan including the Portland Sustainable Freight Strategy which is designed to address greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies. Other key planning initiatives that need to be reflected in the Update include the recently completed Regional Over-Dimensional Truck Route Strategy, The Oregon Freight Plan and Metro’s 2018 Regional Freight Strategy, currently in progress. In addition, freight vehicle technology and logistics practices have also evolved to meet more stringent vehicle emission regulations, growing consumer demands for timely goods delivery, and increased traffic congestion and modal conflicts on our roadways. Increased density is also creating a much more diverse and mixed use urban environment, and a major challenge the City is facing is how to accommodate the increased demand and volume of goods being delivered while also meeting the adopted goals of the Climate Action Plan. The effects of rising population and employment growth includes increased freight traffic and greater competition for limited public right-of-way space among trucks, buses, autos, bike and pedestrians. The Freight Master Plan Update will address the identified freight system improvements and actions recommended in previously completed freight initiatives and planning studies. An assessment of key trends and changes to the freight logistics industry and e-commerce will also be included and how they impact freight movement in the Portland regional such as last-mile deliveries, clean vehicle technologies, multi-modal street designs, off-hour deliveries and prioritized use of public right-of-way for the efficient movements of freight. Other critical areas that need to be addressed in the Update include the role freight improvements have on supporting middle-wage jobs in Portland’s traded sector industries which are held by a higher proportion of minorities than other sectors. Growing middle-wage jobs through strategic infrastructure investments can also help the City meet its equity goals by providing increased economic opportunities for all Portland residents. As an advisory body to the City of Portland, the PFC strongly support the City’s efforts to update the Freight Master Plan and urge you to fund this project. Sincerely,

Pia Welch Raihana Ansary Chair Vice Chair
