PFIP

Port and Freight Infrastructure Program (PFIP)

In 2023, the Port of Oakland was awarded $119 million in grant funding from the State of California as part of the state’s $1.2 billion Port Freight Infrastructure Program (PFIP).  The grant award will support the delivery of roadway improvement projects and marine terminal modernization. The projects are designed to expand green infrastructure and reduce Port congestion, which in turn will reduce diesel emission impacts.

Arterial Roadway Improvements Project

The Arterial Roadway Improvements Project is intended to reduce congestion, improve pedestrian safety and mobility, and increase access across critical roadways and existing truck routes serving the Port.

Arterial Roadway Improvements Projects will include:

  • Adeline Street Corridor Improvements
    • Rehabilitate the roadway between 3rd and 7th Streets and rehabilitate 5th Street between Union and Adeline Streets.
  • 3rd Street Truck Corridor Improvements
    • Improvements to 3rd Street between Market and Broadway. This includes rehabilitating aging infrastructure sidewalks and roadways to improve overall safety for movement of vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians.

Terminal Modernization Project

The Terminal Modernization Project is an initiative to upgrade and modernize marine terminal facilities. This will allow the port to stay competitive by advancing its ability to accommodate the next generation of ultra large container vessels. It will also improve cargo-handling efficiency, promote zero-emissions technology, and reduce emissions.

Marine terminal modernization improvements will include:

  • Launching the Port’s Outer Harbor Terminal green redevelopment to provide container capacity relief and electrical utility upgrades especially for refrigerated exports. These improvements will help the Port continue to be the preferred ‘green trade gateway’ for exporters and California’s agricultural growers and shippers;
  • Converting diesel-powered cargo handling equipment to zero-emissions equipment at Matson Terminal;
  • Wharf improvements including electrical infrastructure, mobile shore power outlet systems to reduce emissions; and bollard and fender replacement; and
  • Repaving Berths 32-33, resulting in removing the grade differential between adjacent marine terminals for increased operational flexibility.
