  1. Beyond the Border Preliminary Planning & Design Project Final Report Summary

  2. Agenda • Project Overview • Key Project Results • What Happens Next

  3. Project Overview • Purpose:to further efforts to implement automated border wait time measurement solutions in a coordinated fashion by facilitating stakeholder coordination and project development across 15 sites at 13 ports of entry • What was done: the consultant team collected information on high-priority crossing sites, assessed their readiness for implementation, and defined action plans to move forward • What the project produced: a combination of detailed site preparation reports for each crossing and a set of high-level conclusions and recommendations for the overall program • Current status: a final report has been prepared and the Border Wait Time Working Group agencies are formulating next steps

  4. Project Overview • Crossings • Crossing locations included sites from coast to coast • Sites were chosen based on several factors, including volume • Crossings were grouped by region to support coordination

  5. Key Project Results Readiness Assessment • Each site was visited to collect information and meet with stakeholders • Goal was to determine what will be necessary to prepare sites for BWT measurement system implementation • Key outputs: • Site Profiles • Site Readiness Assessments

  6. Key Project Results Readiness Assessment: Technical Characteristics

  7. Key Project Results Readiness Assessment: Operational Characteristics

  8. Key Project Results Readiness Assessment: Institutional Characteristics

  9. Key Project Results High-Level Conclusions: • Despite common functionality, sites have many unique attributes • Roadway geometry and surfaces • Local operations • Device mounting options • Power & communications infrastructure availability • Significant decision-making is necessary at nearly all sites* • Which technology type is most appropriate • Whether to procure a turn-key solution, acquire a service, or self-equip • Who will assume what roles regarding implementation, operations and maintenance • How to fund deployment and ongoing operations *Blue Water Bridge plans are well advanced

  10. Study Results • General Recommendations • Procurement Recommendations • Operations Recommendations • Maintenance Recommendations

  11. Next Steps • BWT Working Group will work with regions and crossings to advance the Beyond the Border initiatives • FHWA plans to publish the report on their website • TBWG will add the final report to the documents library

  12. Questions? • Tiffany Julien, FHWA, Office of Freight Management and Operations • 202-366-9241, tiffany.julien@dot.gov
