A robust transportation system is vital to the Port of Seattle's regional, statewide, and international business partners. Without system capacity and efcient access, the region risks losing jobs and economic opportu- nity to more competitive communities. Congestion drives up costs and limits business growth. Companies throughout the state depend on transportation through Seattle for people and goods to reach markets around the world. The seaport is the eighth largest US. gateway for international trade, with annual shipments valued at $43 billion. Our airport, serving more than 34 million passengers a year, is the 15th busiest in the nation, and ying over 290 thousand metric tons is the 19th busiest air cargo airport. Exports such as agriculture, wood, aircraft and electronic parts and fish products are trucked in daily to the seaport or airport. And, over the past decade, our cruise industry grew to more than 870,000 annual passengers. The Port's Century Agenda, a 25-year vision, calls for the addition of 100,000 port-related jobs while reducing our environmental footprint. This plan's strategies and objectives rely on our port-wide Regional Transporta- tion Strategy Team to achieve the needed projects and programs. The team is comprised of staff from the three operating divisions, public affairs departments and other corporate departments. This internal collaboration is invaluable for determining port-wide priorities and coordinating our efforts. What is the port's Regional Transportation vision? The port is a leader in moving people and goods to improve the region's mobility. The port will leverage its infrastructure investments in partnership with other agencies and the private sector to develop regional transportation systems that are key to the region's future success.
