Ohio Department of Transportation Ohio Statewide Freight Study/ Plan Ohio Planning Conference July, 2014

Ohio Department of Transportation Statewide Freight Plan Purpose: To understand to the greatest detail possible, how Ohio’s freight infrastructure is being utilized. The study identified and analyzed modal freight volumes, commodities and origins/destinations and trends. Develop a MAP-21 compliant Freight Plan. OTECJuly 2014

Ohio Department of Transportation Statewide Freight Plan Why do a Freight Plan?  Transportation is the largest cost (63 percent) of doing business for supply chain operators.  An efficient transportation system allows ease of movement of raw materials into production and finished goods out to the market place.  An efficient system lowers transport costs and makes Ohio more attractive to business & industry ie. Jobs. Transportation is linked to the economy July 2014Planning Conference

Ohio Department of Transportation Rail Freight Issues  Ohio has a very strong rail freight system  Large amount of public and private investment over the last 10 years, especially in intermodal  Capacity to do more within economic and service constraints –Shipment size –Customer accessibility to rail –Speed and reliability –Intermodal investments, transload capabilities 18

Ohio Department of Transportation Rail Issues  Abandonments or underutilized lines –Represents excess capacity, yet the rail corridors may once again be needed  Marginal economics of some short line operators; lack of traffic to reinvest  Deficient infrastructure (especially short lines) such as inability to handle 286k pound cars; bridge deficiencies 19  New or expanding markets –Shale oil and gas –Agriculture export –Heavy cargo loads

Ohio Department of Transportation Port Capabilities 22

Ohio Department of Transportation Lake Ports  New cargo evaluation –Short sea shipping Port of Cleveland Container Service to Europe Increased ship building & repair capabilities –Shale oil and gas Inbound materials to Ohio—frac sand, pipe, equipment Outbound petroleum distribution networks –Containerized vessel feeder service  Mode shift analysis –Freight moving by truck or rail that fits a water profile 23

Ohio Department of Transportation Ohio River Ports 24 Ohio River Terminals

Ohio Department of Transportation Ohio River Terminals 25 Ohio River Terminal Clusters

Ohio Department of Transportation Ohio River Profile  Existing barges primarily carry bulk cargo: coal, iron ore, stone, chemicals –Heavy-lift capabilities and lack of multi- jurisdictional permitting are a big plus for over dimensional & weight loads –Potential for general cargo moves  Over 95% of Ohio River terminals are privately-owned –Most of those have single-use, e.g., a coal terminal operated by an electric generating plant –Identified approximately 24 private terminals which could handle cargo for any customer –Of these24 terminals, about 10 handle “general cargo,” such as bagged products, semi-finished steel, machinery, or heavy-lift cargo 26

Ohio Department of Transportation Ohio River  Lock and dam maintenance, the heart of the inland waterway system –47% functional obsolescent, growing to 80% by 2020 –20 cent per gallon user fee covers half the cost of lock and dam maintenance (HMT), with other half from congressional appropriations –WRRDA Bill increased HMT spending, increased maintenance  Slower speeds; but heavy lift, less fuel usage and scheduled service of barge transport compared to competing modes –Environmentally friendly  Marine Highway designations (M-70/29, M90) 27

Ohio Department of Transportation 28 Air Freight

Ohio Department of Transportation Air Freight  Air cargo market faces stiff competition –Among other air carriers, and –Trucks, container ships, and rail cars  Air cargo primarily moves by two methods –Dedicated cargo aircraft –In the belly of passenger planes  What is impacting air cargo –Fuel Prices – Passenger and freight carriers –Declining Availability of Belly Space on Domestic Carriers – A small percentage of air cargo is carried on domestic passenger aircraft in the US.  Proximity to air cargo is essential for business & industry –Air service is the most expensive, but also the fastest for just in time delivery’s to keep production schedules moving July 2014Planning Conference 2014

Ohio Department of Transportation Next Steps Ohio’s MAP-21 compliant Statewide Freight Plan –Section 1118 Performance measures, national goals –Education and outreach with MPO’s, RTPO’s, Stakeholders and our modal Partners –Advancing initiatives ie.
