Port of Long Beach, Ex-Officio Member

It is my privilege to serve as President of this dynamic organization, which is
made up of twenty-seven cities of Southeast Los Angeles County, as well as the
County of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach. Our primary mission is to
improve the region’s transportation, air quality, housing, and economic health.
The region we serve has a population of over two million people who reside
within ethnically diverse communities. The economy of the Gateway Cities is in
large part supported by the goods movement industry through our local ports of
Long Beach and Los Angeles. The goods that flow through the ports account for
a major portion of the value of all goods that are shipped to the United States.
We recognize that the goods movement industry is vital to our economy and
presents the dual challenge of managing the resultant impacts on traffic
congestion and air quality. We remain committed to our initiatives to address
mobility and environmental quality.
The Gateway Cities Council of Governments has priority initiatives for the
planning and construction funding of improvements in the following transportation
corridors: Interstate 5; Interstate 710; State Route 91/I-605/I-405; and the West
Santa Ana Branch/Pacific Electric Railway corridor. Studies of the latter three
corridors are especially focused on alternative technologies and intelligent
transportation systems (ITS).
I am proud to continue the outstanding work of my predecessors delivering
programs such as the Homeless Implementation Strategy and the role the
Gateway Cities have played in addressing air quality improvement for our
communities. Additionally, we are taking a proactive role in the emerging issue
of sustainability.
These major undertakings are intended to advance our core mission. To learn
more about the Gateway Cities region and our Council of Governments, I
encourage you to explore the pages of our website.
Sincerely,
Gil Hurtado
