PROPOSED STATE BUDGET
PORTS PACKAGE
STATE FY 23 BUDGET
A historic $280 billion budget with a ~$40 billion surplus CA expects to receive roughly $14 billion of additional funding from the Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act over the next 5 years
$1.38 billion one-time General Fund (GF) over two years for port, freight, and goods movement infrastructure which includes the following investments:
$1.2 billion for CalSTA to invest in port, freight and goods movement infrastructure ($600 million 2022-23; $600 million 2023-24)
$110 million for the California Workforce Development Board to invest in a supply chain workforce training center in Southern California
$40 million for the DMV to enhance capacity to issue trucking licenses $30 million to Go-Biz to fund data connectivity and enhancing goods movement
STATE FUNDING CONTINUED

21 ON–DOCK RAIL
PIER B RAIL SUPPORT FACILITY
Current Estimated Cost: $1.55 Billion State Budget Request: $360 Million Includes a phased railyard expansion, including right-of-way acquisition, utility relocations, and street re-alignment. The project will increase overall rail network capacity at the Nation’s second largest container port and the use of on-dock railyards by at least 600,000 TEU per year by 2035 36 tracks to the existing Pier B rail yard, expanding the yard from 12 tracks to 48 tracks, and facilitate the movement of 10,000 foot-long trains
An estimated average of 17 trains per day would depart from the yard An increase of 10 trains from the current 7 trains per day Benefits:
The project will increase the velocity of goods movement and eliminate approximately 7.3 million annual truck trips. This will reduce congestion and with fewer trucks idling on California’s highways, improve air quality.
PIER B ON-DOCK RAIL
SUPPORT FACILITY
23 EV BLUEPRINT PLANNING &
IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT
Cost: $2.6 billion
State Budget Request: $200 million for terminal electric vehicle charging Benefits include less air pollution, improved public health, significant greenhouse gas reductions, and the expansion of EV-related job opportunities for local residents.
Timeline/Status: Portions of phase II of the EV Blueprint is currently underway and includes development of Zero Emissions Infrastructure Master Plans (ZEIMP) for a container terminal on Pier J and for the Harbor Department, and installation of limited charging infrastructure for the Harbor Department. ZEIMPs will need to be developed for the remaining Port of Long Beach container terminals and infrastructure will need to be installed at an aggressive pace to meet the Port goal of zero emissions cargo handling equipment by 2030 and drayage trucks by 2035.
