When many people hear the phrase
“global logistics,” they might be hard-pressed to define what it means.
But anyone who has ever had a package delivered to their door knows that
it’s the result of a complex worldwide network that moves products from
factories and warehouses to ports, retail shops, and customers’ homes.

technologies, in which multiple trucks are digitally linked to increase
efficiency, to inform the development of Governor Jerry Brown’s
Sustainable Freight Action Plan.
CCPE’s Center for International Trade
and Transportation (CITT) was active in both research and education in
2016. As part of its METRANS partnership with the University of Southern
California, CITT funded and directed efforts for the METRANS University
Transportation Center, MetroFreight, the National Center for
Sustainable Transportation (NCST), and the Southwest Transportation
Workforce Center (SWTWC). While engaged in research and related
publications on next-generation technological, environmental, and
workforce development issues, the CITT team also worked with the Port of
Long Beach (POLB) and the Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) to
develop new work-based learning experiences.
