AAR/IP Closure and Emergency Preparedness Gap Resolution
Emergency Management · Port Security & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Port has an open compliance mandate to complete and close the PORT CC PREPARED 2026 After-Action Report/Improvement Plan, with exercise findings citing resource constraints and an unverified EOP review cycle. Gaps in public warning coverage compound preparedness risk, elevating operational and regulatory exposure ahead of the 2026 exercise cycle.
The opportunity
A confirmed FY 2025 PSGP award of $1.885 million and a pending FY 2026 PSGP application provide direct funding pathways to close this mandate now. Acting within the current grant cycle aligns AAR/IP closure with defined deliverables, reduces compliance risk, and strengthens community and operational resilience ahead of the next exercise deadline.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Following an external risk assessment and a significant weather event, the Port identified critical public warning coverage gaps and approved procurement of an Outdoor Warning System. Disparate notification platforms currently operate without full interoperability, limiting coordinated emergency response and leaving coverage gaps that elevate public safety risk.
The opportunity
Approved budget and active procurement signal immediate readiness to expand coverage and integrate notification systems. PSGP grant funding provides a strong financial pathway, and ongoing emergency preparedness mandates—including open After-Action Improvement Plan items—create urgency to act within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Port faces a hard FBI CJIS FIPS 140-3 compliance deadline of September 21, 2026 for its OPTICS system, with active procurement underway and a $57k assessment already approved. Failure to comply risks operational disruption to critical port infrastructure and law enforcement data system access.
The opportunity
A confirmed FY 2025 PSGP award of $1.885 million—with FY 2026 funding pending—explicitly covers cybersecurity and endpoint protection, providing a direct, time-sensitive budget path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures compliance before the non-negotiable 2026 deadline and reduces operational and security risk.

Discuss this project →Fleet-Wide Telematics Expansion for Clean Fleet Compliance
Fleet Management · Sustainability & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Auto physical-damage claims have surged 262% and risk pool contributions have risen 12%, signaling significant fleet cost exposure. Despite a prior pilot, fleet-wide dash-camera and telematics deployment remains incomplete, leaving idling-reduction and Clean Fleet initiative goals unmet.
The opportunity
Existing telemetry infrastructure lowers adoption barriers, and the active Clean Fleet strategic initiative provides a programmatic funding rationale aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Expanding coverage now reduces claims exposure, supports compliance goals, and leverages established cooperative purchasing channels for streamlined procurement.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Port faces an upcoming WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline for its public-facing digital infrastructure, with no active remediation effort currently identified. Failure to meet this mandate elevates legal exposure and limits equitable public access to critical port services and information.
The opportunity
The defined compliance deadline creates a clear action window, and the Port's strong financial position—including $307 million in reserves and $4 million+ in annual IT spend—supports funding remediation through established cooperative purchasing channels. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk and ensures inclusive, uninterrupted public access.
