3 Transportation Taskforce Recommendations Create Maritime Department within ODOT Develop statewide transportation system linking Ohio s ports to intermodal strategy Investment in port infrastructure State advocacy for short sea shipping US & Canada Development of Ohio s ports as Energy Centers

16 Logistics Emphasis Water/Road/Rail Ohio is within one day s drive to approximately 50% of America s manufacturing base Ohio is within an eight hour drive to approximately 40% of Canada s manufacturing base and population Intermodal response to ongoing industry challenges Logical models for the movement of goods Fuel costs / labor issues / infrastructure wear & tear / environmental impact / scheduling / congestion

17 U.S. and Canadian Policy & Legislation United States Federal Policy Marine Corridor Program Energy Bill Designate inland waterway routes (short sea shipping) to alleviate highway and rail congestion and reduce air pollution Great Lakes region given specific mention Pending Legislation Maritime Administration funding/grants for Short Sea Shipping initiatives and Port Infrastructure (Lautenberg Bill) Great Lakes Short Sea Shipping Act (HMT Waiver) TIGER Grant additional funding U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Annual dredging budget

18 U.S. and Canadian Policy & Initiatives Canadian Federal Policy Encourage tonnage growth through the St. Lawrence Seaway Multi-year program eliminate tolls on Canadian Locks National Freight Policy East Coast Gateway Montreal - Largest inland port in N.A. approx 1.5M containers - Short sailing time to Cleveland East Coast Gateway - Nova Scotia - 1 st N.A. port from Europe/Asia (1 day closer than NY) via the Suez Canal - Deepest east coast water port - Multiple Ontario port s interested in ferry/sss opportunities with Ohio

19 Passenger Opportunities Lorain Lake Erie Islands Cleveland events Toledo Lake Erie Islands Windsor? Cleveland and eastward cross-lake to Ontario Passenger and Cargo Canadian Consulate working with Transport and municipalities to identify opportunities and minimize challenges
