  1. Ontario Update on Border Traffic for FHWA Planning Initiative October 22, 2013 Ontario Ministry of Transportation Transportation Planning Branch Systems Analysis and Forecasting Office Rob Tardif

  2. Origin-Destination Database Border Flows Partnership: • FHWA partnership with Ontario to develop O-D database to support planning • Seeking financial or in-kind support from Transport Canada • Promote concept of open data • Commercial vehicle surveys: • 12 crossings, 7 million trucks in 2012, sample at border crossings 8,200 • Passenger surveys: • 13 crossings, 32 million cars in 2012 • Completed 7 crossings, sample at border crossings 35,000 surveys • In 2014, 6 additional crossings (Detroit, Port Huron, St. Lawrence)

  3. Origin-Destination Database Border Flows Partnership Objectives: • Fill data gap in U.S.-Canada passenger and truck micro OD data • Capture commodity tied to detailed route • Measure: trips, tons/tonne, cargo value • Measure U.S. and Canadian carriers • Measure empty and loaded vehicles • Passenger vehicle stated preference of border crossings use • Trip purpose, duration and frequency, plus nationality • Ultimate goal of FHWA to support infrastructure needs assessment at U.S. borders • Products in 2014/2015 • Document time series analysis (2000, 2006, 2013/2014) • Prepare “User Guide” to effectively maximize OD survey results • Prepare “How To Guide” to replicate best practices for U.S. deployment • Provide case studies to demonstrate the range of analysis potential

  4. Origin-Destination Database Border Flows Partnership Opportunities: • Integrate Canadian data into U.S. FHWA Freight Analysis Framework • Monitor shifting markets, routes, utilization, VWD • Develop GIS map layers of multi-modal flows across North America • Advance Tri-national multi-modal model development • What is the optimal use of freight modes? • Where does mode diversion of truck to rail maximize economic profits • Quantify travel speed/time improvements of modal optimization • Identify modal infrastructure barriers and opportunities • Partner in development of Tri-national multi-modal commodity flow forecasts • Extend border survey data collection beyond Ontario and Washington • Collaborate in GPS data procurement of travel speed & OD data Transportation Planning Branch
