3 The Surface and Intermodal Security Directorate (SIMS) works to enhance the security of surface and intermodal transportation across Canada, by: Identifying security concerns related to surface and intermodal transportation systems and establishing, in consultation with stakeholders, effective policy responses including those that may be regulatory or voluntary in nature Creating and executing all surface security programming, operational activities and action plans Monitoring developments in surface and intermodal security in Canada and abroad, and ensuring that pertinent security issues are properly reflected in Departmental and governmental initiatives 3 Surface and Intermodal Security

4 Background and Timelines 2004: Rail and Transit Security Working Group (Madrid) 2005: Task Force on Rail & Urban Transit Security (London) 2006: May – Budget includes $115M to bolster rail and transit security October – Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative (APGCI) 4 2007: May – National Policy Framework for Strategic Gateways and Corridors July – Continental Gateway and Trade Corridor 2008: Internal review of security functions Creation of Surface and Intermodal Security Directorate (SIMS) 2009: March – Transit Secure Contribution Program completed June – APGCI Security Assessment Pilot Project completed 2010-2011: Several ongoing projects and activities

5 5 Acts & Regulations MOUs (IBT/Rail) Codes of Practice (Urban Transit) Industry Guidelines Other Information (e.g., Notices) Operations Inspector training and development Advice to industry Review of security plans, risk assessments Exercises & Drills Outreach Engagement strategy Intergovernmental WG Canada-U.S. Transportation Security Cooperation Group Research & Evaluation Evaluation & Performance Measurement Research projects, e.g., supply chain security, critical infrastructure International Standards Strategic Risk Assessments Surface & Intermodal Security – Typical Challenges: Complex Jurisdictional Issues and Broad Mandate Require the Right Approach International WG on Land Transportation Instruments

6 6 Surface and Intermodal Four Strategic Areas 6 Secure surface passenger transportation system Secure surface freight transportation system Secure surface and intermodal critical infrastructure and facilities Enhanced capacity to provide national leadership in surface and intermodal security Passenger Rail Urban Transit TDG by Truck TDG by Rail International Bridges and Tunnels Intermodal Freight Yards Security Management Systems Oversight capacity Evaluation capacity Research Strategy A collaborative effort is required among federal, provincial, municipal and industry partners. Stakeholder Relations

7 7 Supply Chain Security Project Framework PROJECT METHODOLOGY AND OBJECTIVES Partner with government (federal and provincial) and industry stakeholders to: 1.Identify the current security practices in place Canada’s Gateways and Corridors; and 2.Identify potential areas for improvement. EXPECTED OUTCOMES 1.Increase Supply Chain Actors’:  Situational Awareness,  Collaboration,  Readiness and Resilience 2.Address the need for improvements, as applicable 3.Reduce the impact of security on the efficient flow of goods GATEWAY STRATEGIC GOAL National Policy Framework for Strategic Gateways and Trade Corridors (2007) was developed to: Guide investment and policy measures, Enhance infrastructure at key locations, and Promote the efficient movement of goods and people while mutually reinforcing public safety and economic security

8 8 Supply Chain Security Assessment Methodology, Phases and Approach

9 Federal Government – National security, and regulation and/or service delivery in transportation, border operations, customs, and immigration Provinces – Provincial transportation (policy, regulation and operations); provincial police services; emergency preparedness and response U.S. Government – Collaborate with Canadian colleagues and counterpart agencies Industry – Primary responsibility to ensure suitable standards of security in all facilities and operations along the supply chain 9 Supply Chain Partners – Roles and Responsibilities

10 10 A: Factory / Warehouse Day 1 B: Local Truck or Rail Transport Rail / Truck Consolidation Container Yard and Transport (if applicable) Consolidation Facility (if applicable) C: Port of Export Loading Vessel Day 2-5 D: Vessel Departs Territorial Waters E: Vessel En Route (International Waters) Day 5-10 F: Vessel Enters Canadian Waters Day 11-12 G: Vessel Enters Navigation Channels Day 13 H: Vessel Arrives in Canadian Port Day 14 I: Unloading of Vessel, Trans- shipment, CEF Day 14-17 J: Rail/Truck Transport via Tracks, Roads, Highways, Area 1 Day 18 K: Rail/Truck Transport via Tracks, Roads & Highways – Area 2 Day 18 L: Stops along Railways or Highways Day 18 M: Rail/Truck Transport, Area N… Day 18-19 N: Stops along Railways or Highways Day 18-19 O: Rail or Truck Transport / Border Crossings, Bridge / Tunnels Day 19 P/Q: Entry into the US and Arrival to US Destination Day 19 Overview of Supply Chain Phases and Nodes Level of risk can change during each transportation phase at varying nodal areas, stops, and transfer points. Conditions differ along the supply chain, including security measures in place, response capacity, traffic coordination, and system resilience.
