7 INVESTING IN FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE Framing Florida s Freight Mobility And Trade Plan Florida has a once in a lifetime opportunity, with the expansion of the Panama Canal, to transform the state s economy to become a global hub of trade, logistics and export oriented manufacturing activities Governor Rick Scott

8 Economy: Transportation Means Jobs NOW Every $1Billion dollars in highway construction generates an estimated 28,000 jobs, each job lasting on average one year. LATER Every dollar invested in our Work Program produces $4.92 in economic benefits, stretching out over a 30-year period after the completion of the facility.

9 So why a Freight Office? Multi-jurisdictional & Regional approach Goods Movement has no boundaries MPOs/TPOs /Chambers of Commerce /Land Developers (Commercial and Residential) 38 State DOTs influence Freight patterns BUT do the modal divisions (silos) coordinate? 9 = Maritime/Ports/Waterways/Seaport Office 8 = Planning Operations 6 = intermodal Division 4 = Freight Office 3 = Rail & marine/railroads & harbors Division 1 = Aviation & ports office 1 = Trade Development office (Economic Development) 6= unsure which department to contact????

11 Freight Transportation Planning Planners and Engineers vs. Investment bankers /Financial Analyst Infrastructure Planning timeframe is decades Acquiring right-of-way/moving utilities Pricing/Market fluctuate: rebar, steel, asphalt, concrete etc Modal and Jurisdictional organizations (silos) Other State and Federal Agencies MPO/TPOs Revenue sources are decreasing dramatically CAFE standards /Fuel Efficient fleet ROI /Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) Diverse and vocal constituents NIMBY Not In My Back Yard BANANA Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything Scenario Planning 3 to 5 year timeframe

12 Florida s Constraints and Opportunities Florida s ports are largely constrained in terms of land and storage with little supporting manufacturing industry (4.3% of the industry on average in the U.S. 9%) Rural Florida has plenty of land and needs good-paying jobs Ultimately almost all goods will travel by truck for at least one leg of the journey to their point of consumption. (i.e. Wal-Mart)

13 Transportation is Critical for Private Sector 90% stated - transportation directly influences their business. 77% stated - Infrastructure: Becomes more important over the next five years But system will remain inadequate without new investment Not Here in Florida!

17 Freight Mobility & Trade Plan Response to Florida House Bill 599 Approved on April 27, 2012 by signature of Governor Rick Scott, Florida House Bill 599 requires the Florida Department of Transportation to develop the Freight Mobility and Trade Plan. The goals for the creation of the plan are: 1. Increasing the flow of domestic and international trade through the state's seaports and airports recapture cargo currently shipped through seaports and airports located outside the state. 2. Increasing the development of intermodal logistic centers in the state capitalize on the empty backhaul trucking and rail market in the state. 3. Increasing the development of manufacturing industries in the state transportation facilities that will promote the successful development and expansion of manufacturing facilities. 4. Increasing the implementation of compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and propane energy policies that reduce transportation costs for businesses and residents located in the state.
