PAI extends operations to LA/Long Beach

Productivity Apex has secured a dedicated office space to expand its presence in the Los Angeles/Long Beach region. Over the past three years, PAI has built strong relationships with the Port of Long Beach, Port of Los Angeles, marine terminal operators, local drayage operators, and many movers and shakers within the regional transportation community. PAI's contributions to this critical region began with the Freight Advanced Traveler Information Systems (FRATIS) Demonstration Project. The project enabled testing the FRATIS in the Los Angeles/Gateway Cities region to determine its effectiveness in improving intermodal truck utilization; improving and automating the process in which containers are transferred between marine terminals and drayage companies; and from both of these objectives, achieve improvements in regional freight mobility and air quality.

The resulting success led to PAI being competitively awarded a second phase in a new contract to enhance the Drayage Optimization Proof-of-Concept Application developed during the FRATIS prototype in Los Angeles. The focus of these follow-on efforts is on enhancing communications between the marine terminal operators and drayage fleet operations, and developing and deploying a Corridor Optimization for Freight in Los Angeles. PAI's regional office in Long Beach, CA demonstrates the company's commitment to growing its area presence; optimizing regional freight movements and operations; diminishing regional congestion, fuel use, and road wear; improving air quality; and facilitating increased trade.

You'll find us at 444 West Ocean, Suite 800 | Long Beach, CA 90802.
