Various public and private entities have expressedinterest in the rail shuttle-inland port concept, as it could potentially support several keyobjectives for the ports, including increasing supply chain performance and capacity andcontributing to reduced road congestion and air pollution in the LA Basin.As the neutral operator of the LA/LB ports’ on-dock rail network,Pacific Harbor Line (PHL ) isaligned with the ports’ objectives. PHL neither controls nor has rights to serve any short haulroutes or markets outside of the ports and cannot speak for other carriers. It was proposedwith several stakeholders that PHL undertake a study utilizing independent experts to helpunderstand the potential for short-haul rail intermodal to inland terminals on a location-agnostic basis. To this end, PHL retained two consulting firms with expertise in intermodal,rail operations, and supply chain logistics to study this critical issue — Oliver Wyman, Inc.and Leachman and Associates LLC.Oliver Wyman, Inc.is a global leader in management consulting.
