The report reviews access needs for the six active ports in the San Fransisco Bay Area. Unlike many urban planning studies, its focus is on freight rather than passenger issues, and unlike many port planning studies, it emphasizes the landside capacity issues rather than the water-related ones. The study examines the present facilities and development options for the existing ports and analyses the waterborne commerce (dry cargo) flow forecasts for them. It then analyses patterns of landside cargo movement feeding the ports and how they may change in the future, including mode share (truck, rail, and other) and destination. It identifies the present and projected port ground-access network demands and problems and reviews efforts by the ports and other state and local agencies to resolve the problems identified. The study approach should be of use to transportation planners around the country, especially for larger cities in coastal areas. Some of the techniques should also be applicable to airports, rail, and similar facilities.
