Requests Congress to pass legislation ensuring fair allocation of federal transportation funding for freight projects in California and the Pacific Coast based on containerized freight volume moved

Notes Pacific Coast ports received less than 10 percent of federal port-specific funding over the past decade ($1.2 billion of $12 billion) compared to Atlantic Coast ports ($7.5 billion) and Gulf Coast ports ($3.3 billion)

Highlights that Port of Long Beach alone handles approximately 36 percent of all U.S. loaded imported container traffic yet receives disproportionately low federal funding

Directs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to transmit the resolution to the President, Vice President, Congressional leadership, California's federal representatives, and the U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary
