Monitoring the Ports

ShippingThe "Monitoring the Ports" program was established in 2003. Monitoring the Ports seeks to broaden the knowledge base of port-based international trade through data gathering and research in the areas of productivity of port operations, including labor, terminal operations, institutional issues; goods movement within the Los Angeles region. "Monitoring the Ports" is also dedicated to the documentation and evaluation of goods movement related regulations or policies; documenting impacts of goods movement, including congestion, traffic safety, air quality.

The "Monitoring the Ports" Applied research grant program funded small scale projects between 2003 and 2007. Reserach initiation awards are now granted through the annual METRANS' Request for Proposals.
