Congressional hearing before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, 2010 May 5
Scope and Contents
The Port of Oakland section of the Campaigns series contains material on two campaigns: Measure I and the Coalition for Clean and Safe Ports (CCSP) push to reduce air pollution and improve job quality at the Port of Oakland. Measure I was adopted by voters in March of 2022, extending Living Wage Laws to tenants of the Port of Oakland. Measure I folders contain reports and city charter ammendment. The CCSP, which EBASE co-convened with 80 organizations, brought together port drivers with environmental, community, labor, faith, and public allies to ensure that the Port and the growing goods movement industry were accountable to the community. Ultimately, the CCSP aimed to secure a comprehensive policy that would shift the financial burden of goods movement and clean trucks onto trucking companies, shippers, and cargo owners. The CCSP folders comprise material on air quality, the Comprehensive Truck Management Program, freight security, job quality, and material on the ports of Seattle, Long Beach and Los Angeles, including a 2010 Congressional hearing. Folders contain reports, surveys, press clippings, DVDs, and CD-ROMS of images of PR material and ordinances.
