Public Education and Other Information:

The program will generate fresh data from community outreach        business proles of
, including
Portdependent businesses. The research data will be analyzed and synthesized to inform the
Port, regional decision-makers and the general public about the Port's facilities and long-standing
Port, maritime sector and SODO transportation assets, needs and concerns, and how those assets,
needs and concerns are linked to the Port's, the City of Seattle's and King County's continued
economic success.

Initially, the Duwamish TMA will conduct an inclusive community-wide survey of stakeholders
who are dependent on the Port as a freight and transportation hub, especially for import and
export shipping services, or who work or do business in SODO and are impacted by the
movement of freight. This community outreach is expected to encourage better relationships
among stakeholders. After completing the community outreach, the program would also sponsor
at least one public forum or panel, and probably hold more than one, to share initial information,
conclusions and recommendations and seek nal cements from stakeholders.

Based on the community outreach and the public forum(s), the Duwamish TMA will publish a
balanced and objective report within 6 months (by May 2013) with key ndings and
recommendations prioritizing freight-related issues but including all modes of
transportation. The report would be widely available to elected ofcials, the business
community and the general public. This report and other findings developed as part of the
Duwamish TMA's research and community outreach would also be available for review as the
SEPA process begins for the proposed arena in SODO.

The Duwamish TMA is wellsuited to undertake this project because it is very familiar with
SODO's freight and transportation issues and Port-related businesses. It is also already well-
known to many stakeholders and has been able to work with diverse interest groups on previous
projects.
