Maritime Air Quality Improvement Plan (MAQIP) |
A 35-member multi-stakeholder group that has been meeting over the past year to create a Maritime Air Quality Improvement Plan that sets goals and will guide air quality efforts in the seaport for years to come. This stakeholder involvement effort was launched on April 10, 2007. This planning effort is a collaborative effort with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to ensure that the Port of Oakland’s Plan will be well integrated with efforts to improve air quality in the larger Bay Area. The member group consists of a broad, cross-section of Port stakeholders, including neighboring residents and community-based organizations, Port of Oakland tenants and those involved in Port of Oakland Maritime operations, local business interests, public agencies, elected officials and their staff, labor interests, and environmental advocacy organizations. |

Comprehensive Truck Management Plan (CTMP) |
On February 25, 2007, the Port of Oakland launched a community outreach and planning process to create a Maritime Comprehensive Truck Management Plan. The first Steering Committee meeting was held on June 21, 2007. A combination of these stakeholder working group meetings and community workshops have been held in an effort to obtain input on the CTMP and feedback towards achieving the goals of the Plan. In February 2008 after some organizational transitions, a new Ancillary Services Manager/CTMP Project Manager was brought on board to complete the CTMP. The planning process has evolved into a slightly smaller Technical Advisory Group of 12, representing various sectors of the Community and Industry with the Port serving as the lead agency and City of Oakland as the partner agency to develop the CTMP. The Plan is intended to achieve the following:
-
Comply with the Oakland Army Base Reuse Plan Mitigation Measure 4.3-7 and 5.3-7 that “require the City and Port to create a truck management plan designed to reduce the effects of transport trucks on local streets, as well as develop a program to reduce cumulative truck parking and other AMS impacts.
- Remove trucks from neighboring community streets through enforcement and by making truck route information readily available.
- Improve the overall trucking system operating in the Oakland Seaport with technology and improved systems in and out of the terminals
- Reduce health impacts related to Port trucking activities
- Comply with new federal security mandates
- Ensure an adequate workforce of drayage truck operators that are sufficiently trained for safe, efficient and legal truck operations
- Promote opportunities for local employment and local business participation to help the Port meet its priority goals.
