Terminal Location Railroad CriteriaTerminal Location - Railroad CriteriaProspective terminal location must be on a railroad’s i t d l t kintermodal network

Intermodal networks designed to achieve balanced traffic flows

Intermodal routes support high speed trainsIntermodal routes support high speed trains

Connecting railroad routes should accommodate double stack container services

Terminal Location Railroad CriteriaTerminal Location - Railroad CriteriaTerminal volume must support frequent, long trains

Trains consume same line capacity irrespective of length – longer the better

High frequency service required to meet shipper product delivery High frequency service required to meet shipper product delivery schedules requirements

Terminals have high fixed costs – large volumes are required to cover the costcover the cost

Terminal Location Railroad CriteriaTerminal Location - Railroad CriteriaTerminals must be spaced for optimal service

Intermodal service is an “express” operation – train stops should be minimal

Terminals should not have overlapping geographic markets unless significant volumesg

Outbound container demand must be supported by unloaded inbound containers

Railroads typically charge a fee to reposition empty containers

Ocean carriers reluctant to have containers repositioned

International Border CrossingsInternational Border Crossings

Ontario has 14 road based International Border Crossings

New York has 19 International road based Border Crossingsg

There are 7 road based Border Crossings Between New York State

and Ontario

We Really Are Making ProgressWe Really Are Making Progress

Borders are a PriorityBorders are a Priority

Both Federal Governments recognize that our shared border crossings are vital f t i i d ti i th b i d t k t dfor sustaining and supporting economic growth by carrying goods to market and large volumes of trade between the two countries.

The Premier of Ontario has expressed that addressing border congestion is the p g gGovernment’s top economic priority.

Strategies for a New Age: New York State’s Master Plan for 2030 states “Efficient operation of the New York Canadian border crossings is essential toEfficient operation of the New York-Canadian border crossings is essential to the economies of both countries and to the acceptable flow of goods on the State’s trade corridors. . . . undue delays at the borders interfere with the tourism and commuter travel between New York and Canada. Security demands have added to the border challenges The charge for the future isdemands . . . have added to the border challenges. The charge for the future is to balance the competing requirements for security with the least restrictive traffic flows possible.”

Canada – U S TradeCanada U.S. Trade

By 2006 Canada / US trade was valued at $576 Billion annually nearly $1 6By 2006, Canada / US trade was valued at $576 Billion annually…nearly $1.6 Billion per day.

The Niagara Frontier is the 2nd busiest Canada / US border crossing

In 2006, 4 of 5 busiest border crossings in Canada were in Ontario

Windsor / Detroit – Ambassador Bridge (3.4M trucks)Sarnia / Port Huron – Blue Water Bridge (1 8M trucks)Sarnia / Port Huron Blue Water Bridge (1.8M trucks) Buffalo / Fort Erie – Peace Bridge (1.3 M trucks)Niagara / Lewiston – Queenston – Lewiston Bridge (1.0M trucks)

The Peace Bridge itself is Canada’s 3rd busiest Canada / US border crossing for trade.

Trade volume has a major impact on the highway system and has resulted in periodic congestion at key gateways in Niagara Windsor and Sarniaperiodic congestion at key gateways in Niagara, Windsor and Sarnia.

International Trade CorridorsInternational Trade Corridors

Management of International Border CrossingsManagement of International Border CrossingsCrossings are owned/controlled by private sector, federal agencies, special purpose bodies, municipalities and the province.

In Canada, Bill C-3 legislation will provide the federal government with the legislative authority to ensure effective oversight of the existing 24 international vehicular bridges and tunnels and nine international railway bridges and tunnels, as well as any

i t ti l b id t l b ilt i th f tnew international bridges or tunnels built in the future.

In the United States, the President delegated to U.S. Dept of State authority to issue Presidential Permits for construction, connection, operation or maintenance of f iliti t th b d f th U S li t ll i d t ll b t ti lfacilities at the borders of the U.S.; applies to all new crossings and to all substantial modifications.

Ontario has jurisdiction over the highways up to the approaches to the bridge.

NYS’s jurisdiction varies: similar to Ontario for bridge authorities; for Champlain up to CBP/GSA designated demarcation; for small crossings may be right up to border.

So, If Border Traffic is Declining…

Governments need to think long term – it takes time to build new Infrastructure

Where’s the Problem?

• Tourism and local travel expected to increase• Tourism and local travel expected to increase

• Development of a North American economic unit
