  1. AASHTO/FHWAFreight Partnership V Federal Railroad Administration Freight Transportation Collaboration & Efficiency August 1, 2013

  2. innovation Through Collaboration Population growth will drive increased passenger mobility needs 25 years 70 million more people 40 years 100 million more people The freight transportation system moves 40tons of freight per person per year 25 years 2.8 Billion tons more 40 years 4 Billion tons more

  3. Projected Highway Congestion 2007 2040

  4. Freight Transportation Mode Share Tons Ton-miles Freight Rail has the largest share of freight per ton-mile Trucks move more tons, mostly over short distances

  5. Most Rail is Door to Door Percent of Tons Handled

  6. Added Value: Safety & Fuel Efficiency Comparison Between Modes Freight Fatalities (per billion ton-miles)1 Ton-Miles per Gallon2 Other uses: ~5.7m barrels • Fatality Rates 2006-2010 • FRA Comparative Evaluation of Rail and Truck Fuel Efficiency on Competitive Corridors, 2009 7

  7. Rail’s Role in Transportation Network: Freight Potential The potential advantage of different modes with respect to weight and distance. *The various modes of transport are ranked in each of the cells by the comparative efficiency of each.

  8. Rail Intermodal Growth Four Major US Railroads: • Making large investments to improve efficiencies • Increasing service and dependability • Increasing market share • Becoming more competitive in shorter domestic markets Public benefits accrue from these investments

  14. Railroads prioritize projects for maximum ROI • Projects that deliver public benefits may not reach corporate hurdle rate (ROI, etc.). Other projects may have priorities. • Government incentives or participation can move the project to clear the hurdle rate • It’s a matter of public choice—whether the public wants these benefits sooner or later.

  15. Top Intermodal Corridors and Recent Public Investments

  16. Projected Market-Share by Mileage Block with Rail Intermodal at 50 Percent (Year 2035) Current Rail Intermodal Market Market Share Projected Market Shift Truck Market Note: Includes international traffic from ports and NAFTA Length of Haul (miles)

  17. Rail Transportation Benefits Safety Accidents/Injuries/Fatalities - That Can Be Avoided Economic Competitiveness Energy, Infrastructure, and Shipper Savings - Passed on to the Public Sustainability Huge Fuel Savings and CO2 Emissions Avoided Livability Reduced Congestion, Reduced Interaction with the Public State of Good Repair Reduced Wear & Tear and Need for Public Costs to Repair/Replace

  18. Thank You
