FuturePorts believes that 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. And growth without environmental stewardship is a thing of the past. FuturePorts advocacy is founded on the belief that a symbiotic relationship between the ports and surrounding communities is essential to healthy communities and region-wide economic vitality.
FUTUREPORTS WAS FOUNDED IN 2005 TO HELP COALESCE THE PORT INDUSTRY AROUND THE NEED TO BOTH GROW THE PORTS AND TO ADDRESS THE ENVIRONMENTAL, AIR QUALITY, AND QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES THAT COME WITH THAT GROWTH.
Our members feel a sense of urgency to address issues that hinder growth and lead to increased capital costs or excessive burdens on industry. We share a deep commitment to educating the public, regulatory bodies, and elected leaders about the fragile goods movement industry that drives our region's prosperity. While it may seem that the ports and industry are a "piggy bank" for amenities and concessions, the business case must be made for every new cost additive. Cargo is like water, it will find the path of least resistance. Resources are in fact limited and delays cost taxpayers in increased capital expenditures and residents in lost job opportunities.
The time is now to make your voice heard as the goods movement industry, government agencies and the community are fully engaged in critical debates in Southern California, Sacramento and Washington, D.C. about the future of our ports.
