2 Texas: at the Crossroads of U.S. Mexico Trade Five-fold increase in U.S. Mexico trade to $500b/year since passage of NAFTA. $1.2B in trade crosses the border every day. 67% of all cross-border truck traffic & 87% of rail crossings occur Texas. 3 of the 4 busiest land ports of entry (El Paso, Laredo, and Pharr) are in Texas. Texas exports 17% of total U.S. exports. Annual Texas-Mexico trade is $200B. Trade supports 2 million jobs in Texas. More than 20,000 Texas companies are involved in trade. Export-related jobs pay 15-20% more than those focused on domestic production.

3 Border Communities Benefit from Trade Per capita income is rising in border communities faster than the national average; 2/3ds of this growth is due to trade. $230B in trade passes through Laredo each year. Laredo s labor force has increased 50% since 1994 while taxable value of its properties has increased at 5 times the rate of population growth. International toll bridges generate 25% of Laredo s general fund revenue. Cross-border trade generates $1.45B in retail shopping and supports 100,000 jobs in El Paso. A single project can be a game changer (new UP rail yard in Santa Teresa will generate 600 jobs). $26B in trade passes over the Pharr-Reynosa bridge every year. 100,000 truckloads of produce enter the U.S. at Pharr every year, supporting 4,000 jobs. Volume of produce entering Texas is projected to double by 2020 and generate 7,200 additional jobs in Texas as Mazatlan-Matamoros super highway comes on board. Border communities that can leverage the opportunities associated with increasing trade will do very well for themselves and their workforces.

4 Texas Trade and Security Challenges Drugs via Mexico:over $30 billion/year. Cargo, Transport, and POVs targeted CBP: Border Protecton. Supply Chain Integrity = Efficiency and Facilitation Mexican Government: expanding the rule of law. Criminal threats to trade in Mexico will diminish. Supply Chain Risk Management Segmentation Risk Management Distribution

5 The U.S. Mexico Border is Increasingly Safer We have better control over the border than at any time in the past. Apprehensions: declined by 78 percent since 2000 (from 1.65M in 2000 to 357K in 2012) The two safest big cities in the USA are El Paso and San Diego. Violent crimes in border communities and states have declined significantly. DHS & Border Patrol have addressed migration routes away from urban areas DHS investments in surveillance, barriers, and personnel (e.g. increase of USBP to 21,000), more effective border control and interior enforcement operations, combined with greater economic opportunities in Mexico and an economic downturn in the USA have collectively contributed to the large decline in illegal border crossings.

6 Texas Land Ports of Entry 3.4 million trucks enter Texas every year over 61 commercial lanes. 20 trucks and $1M in trade every hour a lane is open. Infrastructure: Aged, constrained, congested Time is money. Unpredictable wait times increase the cost of doing business. An idle truck costs $200/hour. More inspections mean fewer daily border crossings per truck. Federal investment in LPOEs lacking:$6b and 6,000 CBPO s is required to meet current requirements P3s and reimbursable fee agreements with CBP are alternative ways to fund expansion of inspection capacity at LPOEs. Increased supply chain security: facilitates and expedites trade Trusted Partner Programs: C-TPAT and other programs that increase cargo security.

7 2040 and Beyond

8 Megaregions Applying the Concept to Trade Megaregions develop when there is a critical mass of activity (e.g. electronics in Silicon Valley, film in Los Angeles, finance in NYC). Texas has the essential elements to become a freight & trade Megaregion. Strategic investment in transportation infrastructure and corridors can make this a reality.

9 Recommendations for Consideration Invest strategically in roads and rails to allow cargo to move quickly an efficiently through Texas; trade follows the path of least resistance. Influence National and Bi-national investments in border and transportation infrastructure in both the U.S. and Mexico. Push out the borders. Increase security of the entire international supply chain. Coordinate infrastructure projects with Mexico. Educate/Inform/Communicate Border Reality to all stake holders many states benefit from trade that goes through Texas. They can be your advocates. Determine how market forces can be brought to bear at the border. Bring all potential resources to the table are all available funding mechanisms being capitalized? Strategic outlook versus Tactical approach. POEs PLUS; address the entirety of the trade system (e.g. secure supply chains, good transportation network). Harness the future value of trade and trade-related economic activities.

10 Approach Tactical Strategic Increased government funding Public Private Partnerships Port-specific infrastructure Supply Chain Infrastructure support POE- centric operations Systems-wide risk diffusion POE tactical technology System Wide Data/Intel/Information CBPOs: Intensified Inspections Risk Management/Segmentation/Targeting Border Communities as State Championing Efforts w/partner States Allies Border Champions Port Capabilities Supply Chain System

33 23 Keep Freight Flowing!

34 Recommendations 1. Routinely include business advisors who move freight in your discussions. Integrate Freight Advisory Committees into the mainstream no siloes. 2. Remember the first and last mile connectors in your plans. 3. Use technology and innovation wherever possible. 4. Continue to push for infrastructure improvements. 5. Use strategic zoning, smart land use policies, economic development incentives, and effective truck route planning to buffer freight activity centers from population centers. 6. For both short- and long-term, small- and large-scale infrastructure planning, use real-time/real-world data that is readily available from various high-tech sources (Inrix, ATRI, USDOT s truck data feed). 7. Don t assume that all truck drivers, shippers, and loads require the same speed and reliability for the haul, While speed is important, reliability is the key to success. 24
