AAPASets Legislative
Navigation projects and improved
intermodal access for freight were among
the legislative priorities discussedat the
recent annual convention of the American Associationof Port Authorities.
AAPA
held its 85th annual convention in Vancouver,British Columbia,in
September.
During the convention, AAPA’sLegislative Policy Council, whichsets policy
for the association’s U.S. members,discussed top priorities for the months
ahead. The council voiced strong support for Congressionalaction this year
on the Water Resources Development
Act of 1996. A couple of weeksafter the
confi:rence, Congressapprovedthe legislation.
The Water Resources Development
Act includes authorization of federal
water resources and navigation projects
at the nation’s ports. Among
these projects is a plan to widenand deepenthe
Priorities
Houston Ship Channel, whose dimensions have remained unchangedfor 30
years. The Port of HoustonAuthority
plans to seek congressional approval of
fundingfor the project next year.
The newlegislation also provides for
policy changesthat will allow the U.S.
ArmyCorps of Engineers to undertake
its water resourcesmissionsmoreefficiently. Suchprovisions authorize equitable federal cost-sharing of dredged
materialdisposalfacilities, providefor
promptremovalof obstructions to navigation and limit the local cost-share during the feasibility stage of a project’s
development.
The Legislative Policy Committee
also declared the Intermodal Surface and
Transportation Efficiency Act a top priority and urged reauthorization of the
1991 legislation. However,AAPA
suggested that changes be madeto the law
that wouldprovide freight a more equi-
table opportunity to competefor funds.
A recent General Accounting Office
study found that only $104million, or
less than one percent of ISTEAfunds,
was spent on intermodal freight during
the first four yearsof the statute.
Only 10 states have used ISTEA
tim&for projects to facilitate intermodal
freight, according to the GAO.Texasis
one of those states, having approvedtwo
projects to improverail access to the
Port of HoustonAuthority’s Barbours
Cut Container Terminal.
During the annual convention’s
opening ceremonies, U.S. Transportation Secretary Federico Pena discussed
ISTEAreauthorization.
"Marine and intermodal freight
mobility projects have not been funded
consistently and have often taken a
back seat to passenger transportation
investments,"Pena said. "As a result, at
