A vibrant and healthy economic and environmental future for the ports is vital to us all.
We must meet the ports' environmental challenges. But to do this, it is essential that we build needed marine and landside shipping facilities and improve our transportation corridors. Without these improvements, congestion and air quality will only worsen. Inaction or delay is not an option .In order to green the ports, we must grow them.
FuturePorts supports greening and growing our ports.
About the FuturePorts Strategic Action Plan
To set a balanced course that meets Southern California’s economic, environmental and social goals, FuturePorts will:
- Serve as a regional voice for our members at local, state and federal regulatory and legislative agencies on issues affecting the Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex and its industry providers; monitor and report on these agency actions.
- Participate in agency planning programs and decision-making.
- Formulate policy positions on planning and regulatory issues affecting the ports and shipping supply chain.
- Establish pro-active approaches to environmental issues by promoting port and industry stewardship and emphasizing the importance of balanced, reasonable and cost-feasible strategies.
- Identify local and regional solutions to eliminate congestion bottlenecks and achieve much-needed air quality improvements.
- Identify critical construction projects and develop strategies for eliminating delays in project funding, environmental permitting and construction.
- Increase public awareness and knowledge about the value of the ports and industry services for the community at large.
