$37B INVESTMENT ANNOUNCED IN LANDMARK RAIL AGREEMENT BETWEEN COMMONWEALTH AND CSXThe Commonwealth of Virginia and CSX plan to separate passenger and freight operations along the Richmond to Washington DC corridor by expanding reliability and service on Virginia rail lines They announced a landmark rail agreement on December 19 2019

ldquoCSX is proud of the innovative agreement reached with the Commonwealth of Virginia which will advance our goals for increased safety efficiency and volume growth while meeting the publicrsquos desire for more passenger rail service to relieve commuter traffic congestion in the I-95 corridorrdquo said CSX Transportation spokeswoman Sheriee Bowman ldquoThe eventual impact once the phases are complete will be a positive one as it will separate freight operations from passenger operations allowing for better fluidity enabling us to move freight more efficiently without restrictions through this key corridorrdquo

The expansion costing $37 billion will include h Acquisition of more than 350 miles of railroad right-of-way and 225 miles of track

h 37 miles of new track improvements including the Franconia-Springfield bypass and

h A new Virginia-owned Long Bridge across the Potomac River with dedicated passenger and commuter rail tracks It will replace the current Long Bridge built in 1904 that has only 2 tracks and carries every freight or passenger train that crosses the Potomac River The new bridge will relieve this bottleneck by providing track for passenger and commuter trains separate from the freight trains

ldquoThis agreement will change the future of transportation in Virginia improving our ability to move people and goods across the state and opening up potential rail service in underserved parts of the Commonwealthrdquo stated Virginia Governor Ralph Northam

ldquoCelebrating 100 Years of Maritime Industry GrowthrdquoVolume 84 No 1 January 2020

The rail expansion is expected to remove five million cars and one million trucks off Virginiarsquos highways each year as well as see an increase in containers moved by rail tofrom port terminals The improvements will be phased in over ten years resulting in

h Doubling the number of Virginia Amtrak trains h Providing nearly hourly Amtrak service between Richmond and Washington DC

h Increasing Virginia Railway Express (VRE) service by 75 along the I-95 corridor with 15-minute intervals during peak periods and adding weekend service

h Increasing Amtrak service to Newport News and allowing for improved schedule of the third Amtrak train to Norfolk

h Laying the foundation for Southeast High-Speed Rail through the acquisition of the abandoned S-Line which runs from Petersburg into North Carolina

h Preserving an existing freight corridor between Doswell and Clifton Forge for future east-west passenger service

ldquoAs we work to maximize investments in highways transit and Metro this partnership creates an unprecedented opportunity to unlock the potential of rail and commuter rail and allows Virginia to focus on customer service reliability and performancerdquo said Secretary of Transportation Shannon Valentine ldquoThis also provides the critical infrastructure needed to explore options to expand rail to other corridors in the Commonwealthrdquo CSX and the Commonwealth of Virginia continue work to finalize definitive agreements expecting execution to begin in the second half of 2020

Congress released two legislative packages last month (December 2019) that included many port-related programs The first a spending bill makes significant funds available for port infrastructure development investments in multimodal transportation and includes verbiage to ensure timely inspection of goods through the nationrsquos ports

Army Corps of Engineers

Coastal Navigation - $276B These funds broadly cover several USACE items within the port

Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund - $163B These funds pay for operation amp maintenance dredging in our channels and the Craney Island Eastward expansion

Construction - $112B (includes the Regional Dredging Demonstration program funding for $37765) These are the funds our port is competing for related to our deepening and widening project

Donor and Energy Transfer - $50M As a qualifying Energy Transfer port wersquore expecting to receive a portion of the funding The VMA has been a regular advocate for this funding annually with an increased focus on construction funding in 2019

Department of Transportation

Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Transportation Program (formerly TIGER) ndash $1 billion This program funded the NIT North Gate expansion and is the current award for the VIP expansion

Maritime Administration

Port Infrastructure Development Program ndash $225 million PIDP funds will be made available for a number of purposes including gate improvements road and rail improvements both within and connecting to ports berth improvements cargo operations improvements and in utilities necessary for safe operations (or any combination of these purposes) A larger share of these funds $200 million is set aside for coastal seaports or Great Lakes ports

Our port has a pending application from the first round of this program for an NIT Central Railyard expansion

US Department of Homeland Security

Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) ndash $100 million Our port applies for and receives funds from this program annually for various security improvements

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) ndash $104 million Specifically for hiring additional up to 610 CBP officers and agriculture specialists This funding increases the amount of officers at our ports improves cargo efficiency while bolstering national security The VMA has been a regular advocate for this funding annually

Environmental Protection Agency

Diesel Emissions Reduction Grants ndash $87 million Our port has used this program in the past to support the Green Operator program as well as to replace diesel-fueled container handling equipment with electric hybrids The VMA has been a regular advocate for this funding when applied for

National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration

Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS) Program ndash No Less Than $625 million This funding helps maintain an array of metocean data sensors in our port (tides currents wind speed and direction etc) providing our vessel pilots real-time conditions for improved navigational safety The VMA has been a regular advocate for this funding annually

CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATIVE PACKAGES HOW WILL THEY ASSIST VIRGINIArsquoS PORT PROJECTS

GRANT AWARDED TO JAMES RIVER EXPANSION PROJECT MARAD has announced that $75 million in grants is awarded to nine marine highway projects including $189840 granted to the James River Expansion Project The grant will allow for the purchase of equipment designed to provide a more efficient barge service operation

The federal grant will be matched with $47460 from the Virginia Port Authority (VPA) to purchase a large portable generator capable of providing continuous power to multiple refrigerated containers during transit four large steel bins used for storing equipment used to secure containers and a specialized rack for storing and transporting the steel bins The rack will make it possible to offload the bins all at once cutting down on the 40-minute offload time it used to take During that offload containers cannot be lifted

ldquoThere is high demand for reefer service to RMT and the addition of this power pack [generator] will enable the port to meet the needs of the cargo owners using the bargerdquo said John Reinhart the Port Authorityrsquos CEO and Executive Director ldquoWe now have refrigerated capacity on both barges which is important to the owners of cold cargo and to the growth of our reefer businessrdquo
