APL joins California transport advisory panel

4/2/2007 9:26:04 AM

APL will join government, environmental and transportation industry leaders in advising the state of California on how to spend $2 billion to improve goods movement.

APL’s director of corporate relations, Scott Smith, has been named to join the Trade Corridor Improvement Fund work group, a public-private advisory panel that will recommend criteria for allocating funds under Proposition 1B, approved by state voters last November.

APL is the only ocean carrier represented on the sixty-member work group appointed this month by the California Transportation Commission (CTC).    The $2 billion in Prop 1B funds will finance port, rail and highway projects that can improve freight transport in key California trade corridors.

By June, the work group is expected to deliver guidelines and criteria to be used by the CTC in selecting projects for funding.

The work group includes representatives from the state’s Dept of Transportation; Environmental Protection Agency; and Business, Transportation & Housing Agency. Executive port directors from Long Beach, Los Angeles and Oakland, as well as representatives from BNSF and Union Pacific railroads, are also members of the group.
