 Public / Private Partnership  Increased need for supply chain flexibility – Shifting global supply chains – Globalization, Panama Canal expansion favor diversification to East Coast ports

 Intermodal freight transport increasingly critical to meeting nation’s transportation needs – Combined efficiency of freight rail and flexibility of highway transportation National Gateway Introduction Approach / Benefit

 Freight growth is coming  Relocated Intermodal Facility NW Boston — reduces logistics costs Transfer Yard Chambersburg — helps manage freight movement Chicago BWI — creates jobs and more shipping New York options Baltimore  More freight per train St. Louis Columbus Hampton Roads — increases efficiency — reduces rail and highway congestion Charlotte — lessens emissions and saves fuel Memphis Wilmington  $22 in public benefit for every $1 of public funds invested

National Gateway Project

Current and Planned Double New Orleans Florida Stack Routes Project Benefits

 Stimulates the economy • Creates jobs and provides economic development through terminal construction.  Positions U.S. to compete in a global economy • The National Gateway improves the efficiency of our transportation network and provides over $3.4 billion in shipper and logistics cost savings.  Reduces highway maintenance costs, congestion and improves safety • The National Gateway enables modal conversion of nearly 18 million truck trips and reduces truck miles traveled by more than 14.3 billion miles, saving nearly $700 million in highway maintenance costs and more than $600 million in safety savings.  Lessens greenhouse gas emissions and helps improve air quality • The National Gateway will improve the flow of freight by rail, reducing fuel consumption by 1 billion gallons. This improved fuel efficiency saves over 12 million tons of greenhouse gases.
