3 Agenda Existing Freight Rail Network And Forecasts Freight Rail Infrastructure Passenger Network, Constraints and Forecasts Rail Investment Scenarios and Recommendations Questions and Discussion
4 Existing Freight Rail Network And Forecasts
5 Massachusetts Freight Rail Network
6 Major Economic & Freight Trends Value of manufactured goods is increasing shift to highvalue, low-weight products. Freight volumes are projected to increase 70% by Freight loads and facilities are getting larger. Large-scale distribution activities are increasingly expanding beyond the Boston metropolitan area. The majority of freight will continue to be shipped by truck. 10
7 U.S. Highway Congestion Increasing High volume freight truck routes to increase 230% from 2002 to 2035 US needs $225 billion in transportation for state of good repair spending less than 40% of that
8 U.S. Rail Corridors and Congestion Rail volumes expected to increase 88% from 2002 to billion tons to 3.2 billion tons AAR estimates $148 Billion capacity investments needed to meet future demand
9 Massachusetts Freight Volumes Projected to Increase Freight Volumes projected to increase by 70% by 2030 Each mode to grow with trucks increasing mode share 4
10 Majority of Freight Shipped by Truck 2007 Modal Shares of Tonnage, Massachusetts and US re a h S 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Tr uck Rail Air Water MA Share US Share Source: Global Insight TRANSEARCH 2008 Release, FAF 2007 Provisional Release.

13 Expansion of Large-Scale Distribution Activity is Shifting Beyond Boston Metro Area
14 Freight Rail Infrastructure
15 Multi-Modal Freight Infrastructure is Aging
16 Freight Rail Infrastructure Constraints Defined 286k: 286,000 lbs rail car capacity becoming industry standard vs current 263,000 lbs Double-Stack: Vertical rail line clearance for two intermodal containers with a clearance of 20 8
17 Major Freight Issues & Constraints Multi-modal freight transportation infrastructure is aging and struggling to compete. Congestion Clearances Weight Restrictions Freight transportation activity often conflicts with other land uses. Most freight transportation issues and potential solutions are inherently linked to passenger transportation. 11

41 Rail Projects with Strongest Return on Investment (ROI)
42 Assessment of Modal Shift to Rail Construction of all investment rail projects would increase future mode share from 6.1% to 7.1% by 2035 Represents a 14% increase in overall rail volumes Equalling 26,280 carloads & 175,620 intermodal loads Diverting 296,800 trucks off the road Improvements to the CSX and Pan Am Southern lines may further increase rail mode share 14
43 Rail Policy Issues Land Use Development Identifying, preserving and facilitating freight-intensive uses in Massachusetts Funding and Financing Freight must be considered in prioritization of projects Public benefits justify partnering with private companies Industrial Rail Access Program (IRAP) Regulatory Environment Truck routes, regional multimodal planning, etc. 15
