The Beauty of the Port is more than just the economic impact...

The Port of Los Angeles recognizes its dual role as a driver of international business and trustee of public lands. As such, it is mindful of its responsibility to the communities in which it operates and has created a distinctive environment for its customers, visitors and the community at large.

A neighborhood employer, the Port supports local labor by securing 275,000 shipping-related jobs for the area and region. A stable community partner, the Port provides millions of dollars annually to a variety of local schools, community programs and nonprofit organizations. The Port has also undertaken an extensive project to directly benefit harbor communities: development of the San Pedro waterfront. These contributions are just some of the ways the Port of Los Angeles plays a role in helping to build a better community.
