Electrification of the Freight Train Network from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to the Inland Empire

The proposed project evaluates the benefits of electrifying the freight railroads connecting the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach with the Inland Empire. These benefits include significant reduction in air pollution, and improvements in energy efficiency. The project also includes developing a scope of work for a much more detailed study, along with identifying potential funding sources for such a study.
