Abstract:Section 6018 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act mandates BTS, within the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), establish a port performance statistics program. This program aims to provide nationally consistent performance measures for, at least, the nation’s top 25 ports, ranked by tonnage, twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), and dry bulk cargo. Additionally, BTS is required to submit an annual report to Congress that includes statistics on the capacity and throughput of these ports [114th Congress 2015].
This report follows the recommendation of the 2016 BTS Port Performance Working Group report to use the USACE statistical definitions of ports, which align with the federal, state, and municipal legislative definitions associated with a given port [Wakeman 2012]. These legislative port definitions are relatively stable over time, although some ports have successfully petitioned USACE to alter their boundaries. The major advantage of using USACE’s port definitions is that USACE publishes nationally consistent cargo throughput data, including the data used to select the top 25 ports.
