This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. The Utah Inland Port Authority is working to ensure that we are growing in ways that will help preserve our economy, environment and quality of life for future generations. Executive Director Ben Hart joins us with more. Ben Hart: The Utah Inland Port Authority is actively involved in developing solutions for a balanced transportation system, regional economic growth and caring for our natural environment. One of the questions that we get most often is "what is an inland port?" In short, an inland port is a facility where we can transfer truck cargo to rail. In Utah, we love our roads, but we have to find ways to put more cargo on rail. This approach has proven to be better for the economy, the environment and lowers the cost of money needed to build and maintain roads. We are also focused on building regional economies. We support communities with their economic goals by helping businesses to expand and create high-wage jobs for Utahns. As we all work together to provide a stronger Utah for future generations, the Utah Inland Port Authority will be actively engaged in helping to create real solutions for growth. Derek Miller: By creating a better multi-modal transportation system and helping communities to grow optimally, the Utah Inland Port Authority is working to ensure Utah remains the strongest state in the nation, and the best economy in the global marketplace. I'm Derek Miller with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business. Originally aired: August 2, 2023

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Utah's rapid growth has resulted in a need to reduce costs to ship goods to and from our great state. To address that concern, the state created the Utah Inland Port Authority, led by President Jack Hedge, who explains what they do. Jack Hedge: Utah's Inland Port Authority is future-proofing our state's link in the global supply chain by providing smart, sustainable, and equitable logistic solutions across the Beehive State. We're focused on forging partnerships, streamlining infrastructure, and investing capital in projects for the public good. We are modernizing the logistics industry through better data, technology, and sustainability standards. We're focused on expanding rail access to businesses, lowering shipping costs for local importers and exporters, and making cargo movement more efficient. Growing the economy and protecting Utah's natural beauty don't need to be mutually exclusive. Our goal as a state entity is improving and maintaining Utah's quality of life. Utah's Inland Port Authority is still a relatively new organization. With a great governing board and a team of experts, we can smartly address growth. There's still a lot of work to do, but it's an exciting time as we make Utah a better place for business. Derek Miller: Utah's Inland Port isn't a single place – it's a statewide system and the port is open for business.

"The fight for a slice of the Transportation Bill pie is as fierce as a Florentine gladiator match. The argument for an efficient transportation system is not new. But it's more than roads and bridges. Ports need to take a priority. These locations are the points of origin processing over 90-percent of the world's trade. The ports are the funnel in the flow of trade. It makes sense to make sure this funnel has no cracks so trade can flow smoothly through the entire pipeline of trade. But if you want to wait for the federal government to be the savior of transportation you are going to be waiting for a long, long, time. To get something done sooner rather than later, nothing is better than a public, private partnership. It's the best of both worlds.Jack Hedge - Executive Director, Utah Inland Port Authority, Salt Lake City, UTAndrew Scott - CEO, QuayChain, Los Angleles, CALori-Ann LaRocco - Writer, Freightwaves - West Milford, NJ"Follow FreightWaves on Apple PodcastsFollow FreightWaves on SpotifyMore FreightWaves Podcasts

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Before the pandemic, most of us probably didn't give much thought to how an online order arrived at our door or whether there would be toilet paper on store shelves. But for the Utah Inland Port Authority, thinking about supply chains is their business. Jack Hedge is the Executive Director of the Port Authority and he's here to share the unique opportunity Utah has to keep goods moving into the next century. JACK HEDGE One-third of Utah's GDP, employment, and incomes are dependent on the logistics industry – and those numbers are only expected to grow. But as we've witnessed in 2020, an unknown shock to the supply chain can disrupt the balance of our global logistics network and our daily lives. The Utah Inland Port Authority's job is to support the logistics systems that are the backbone of the economy. That means using Utah's geographical advantages and optimizing the rail, road, and air infrastructure already in place to make cargo movement more efficient and more sustainable for generations to come. Logistics is at an inflection point with disruptive technologies revolutionizing the industry. Utah is the place to foster that innovation – to stay safe, to stay stocked, and to stay smart. DEREK MILLER We are excited about the unprecedented vision for statewide logistics that benefits all of Utah and look forward to progress with the Inland Port. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, and this is Speaking on Business. Originally Aired: September 22, 2020.

Why is it that at least $21 trillion dollars of Pentagon financial transactions between 1998 and 2015 cant be traced? We speak with investigative journalist Dave Lindorff, who has exposed this financial fraud. For our weekly Earth Watch, a major struggle is underway against the Utah Inland Port Authority. What impact will this project have on our planet, which is already at a tipping point in terms of pollution and other environmental devastation? Is there a crisis involving the meaning of Christianity in todays churches? Eighty percent of Christian Evangelicals voted for Donald Trump in 2016, despite his views on immigrants, women and people of color.

Janet McKeithen, Minister of the Church in Ocean Park in Santa Monica, California, and Father Michael Sniffen, Dean of the Cathedral of Long Island for the Episcopal Church.
