1 Ohio Statewide Freight Study/ Plan Ohio Planning Conference July, 2014

2 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. OTEC July 2014

3 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 Planning Conference July 2014

15 Rail Freight Ohio Rail Freight Analysis 15

16 Rail System Analysis Rail Freight Traffic Density 16

17 Rail Intermodal Containers per Year CSX Cleveland 100,000 NS Toledo (Airline) 65, NS Cleveland 100,000 CSX Marysville 15,000 NS Columbus 200,000 CSX Columbus 130, CSX Marion 50, CSX Cincinnati 40,000 NS Cincinnati (Gest St) 110,000 NS Cincinnati (Sharonville) 35,000 CSX North Baltimore 20,000 17

18 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

19 Rail Issues 19 Abandonments or underutilized lines Represents excess capacity, yet the rail corridors may once again be needed New or expanding markets Shale oil and gas Agriculture export Heavy cargo loads 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

24 Ohio River Ports Ohio River Terminals 24

25 Ohio River Terminals Ohio River Terminal Clusters 25

26 Ohio River Profile 26 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

27 Ohio River Lock and dam maintenance, the heart of the inland waterway system 47% functional obsolescent, growing to 80% by 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

28 Air Freight 28

29 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 Planning Conference 2014 July 2014

30 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. Operations plan, ITS, PFN, STS, OS/OW corridors and others Planning Conf July 2014
