1. I-95 Corridor Coalition Multi-Modal Projects Presented by Marygrace Parker Program Coordinator, Freight Mobility, Safety & Security National Capital Transportation Planning Board Freight Subcommittee Kick-Off Meeting April 24, 2008

2. Mid-Atlantic Truck Operations Project (MATOPs) Objective – Identify truck bottlenecks in Mid-Atlantic region and assess cost of delay Developed list of truck bottleneck locations from HPMS Scan and identify worst bottlenecks in each state Submittedt to states for review and ranking of bottleneck locations Using ATRI to view delay by locations/time Using HERS (with ATRI and Global Insight commodity data) will measure preliminary cost of delay Finalize comprehensive list of truck bottlenecks in 6 state region (“string”)

9. Freight Academy – An Immersion Program on Goods Movement Date: October 26-31, 2008 Host: Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) at Rutgers University Target Audience (30 attendees) –Public Sector staff (i.e. DOT, MPO etc) involved in planning, operations, management of programs that impact freight/goods movement FHWA Liaisons – Kate Quinn – Mike Onder

10. On a national basis, freight emissions will remain the highest contributor of NOx and PM. 13 States in Coalition region: –have the highest number of counties in nonattainment for ozone (NOx) and PM – have the highest estimated concentration of daily truck volumes. Truck Emissions Reduction and Fuel Efficiency Program The Problem

11. Truck Emissions Reduction and Fuel Efficiency Program Installing EPA’s Smart Way upgrade kit on one truck can save more than 5,000 gallons of fuel per year

12. Truck Emissions Reduction and Fuel Efficiency Program Approximately one third of the nation’s truck tractors are registered in Coalition states Upgrading 30,000 trucks (less than 2%) could save: –150 million gallons of fuel per year –625 tons of diesel particulate matter per year –22,500 tons of NO X per year –68,181 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year –$450 million in fuel savings per year

13. Truck Emissions Reduction and Fuel Efficiency Program Objective: Seek to promote truck emissions reduction and fuel efficiency by enhancing investment in equipment Leverage work of EPA through collaboration with Smartway Transport Project, (a program offering a series of truck emissions reduction technologies and financing options) Assess interest within Corridor states to facilitate a program (including multi-state) to reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency in the Coalition region’s freight transportation fleet Advance consideration of multi-state investment models/alternative funding sources (i.e. SIBs, CMAQ) –Potentially facilitate and test multi-state investment model

14. MAROps II Objectives Update condition and performance of rail and highway networks (supply) Examine commodity flows and supply chains (demand) Update MAROps program (original list of 71 projects – status, any changes) Estimate MAROps program benefits (who benefits/who pays?). Develop transferable institutional mechanisms for implementing regional rail program –Issues – What models are there to use to insure all agree with how benefits determined and did we capture all public/private benefits Berkeley model? Others?

15. Freight Academy Curriculum

16. Freight Academy Curriculum – Capstone Project Objective –Expand experience with situations likely to arise while managing freight in a public organization. –Gain public and private sector perspectives of freight movements. –Build team and leadership skills. Projects assigned to Freight Academy teams –Teams will be given time during Immersion Week to work on projects –Freight Academy staff will continue to support teams in finalizing reports after Immersion Week –At least one member from each team will attend 2009 Annual Meeting and present final report to panel

18. Commercial Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (CVII) Program Initiate and advance CV vehicle based VII development to “catch up” with VIIC –Develop/integrate software to allow CV vehicles to communicate with roadside systems and passenger vehicles Modify existing infrastructure and communications for 13 mile VII corridor Develop CV vehicle system and software building upon: National VII efforts, I-95 NC/NCHP/Volvo Truck Project FMCSA’s Wireless Vehicle Safety Inspection Coordinating with USDOT RITA and JPO VII programs, FMCSA/FHWA Smart Roadside effort

19. I-95/FHWA Oversize/Overweight Automated Permitting Analysis I-95 CC and FHWA collaborating on a permitting analysis effort to: –Provide an overview of current automation models in use; –Document best practices from agencies that have implemented automated systems; –Identify technical and/or institutional issues limiting implementation; and –Investigate needs and capabilities to share permit data to roadside personnel and across jurisdictions.

20. OS/OW Preliminary Findings Benefits of automating permit processes include: –Increased customer service through reduction in time required in obtaining permit credentials; –Reduction in agency manpower in processing permits and improved ability to target human resources on more complex moves; –Potential improvement in compliance rates for obtaining OS/OW permits by motor carriers; and –Sharing of permit data to the roadside (within states and across state jurisdictions) as law enforcement personnel could effectively screen permitted commercial vehicles.
