TRADE & TRANSPORT

TEU Traffic & Airline Passengers

Traffic of full export containers traveling through the Port of Oakland decreased 4 percent between April 2008 and April 2009 and full imports decreased 17 percent. Empty container exports increased 22 percent and empty imports decreased 48 percent.

Various air carrier closures and reductions in the number of flights have caused ridership numbers at OAK and SJC to trend downward since the fall of 2007.  Ridership was up at SFO between April 2008 and April 2009. April numbers for OAK and SJO were not available.
