THE NOlRTH AMERICA'S SUPERCORRIDORCOALITION, INC.

Who we are, what we stand for, and why the fervent devotion to transport efficiency

North America"s Supercorridor Coalition, Inc.

For more than 12 years North America's Supercorridor Coalition (NASCa) and its membershave stood at the forefront of driving public and private sectors to unite to address strategicallycritical national and international trade, transportation, security and environmental issues.

Our focus is on maximizing the efficiency of our existing transportation infrastructure to supportinternational trade. We recognize the extraordinary implications for our nation's long-termeconomic prosperity of our transport system's ability to sustain that growth.

NAsca, a non-profit group initially founded in 1994 as the 1-35 Corridor Coalition, representsmember cities, counties, states, provinces and private sector members devoted tomaximizing the efficiency and operations of the existing U.S. Interstate Highways35/29/94 (the NASCa SuperCorridor) and the intermodal inland ports NASCa hasinspired to sprout along them. Never have our efforts been more needed or been moreurgent.

As U.S. Federal Highway Administrators and state road association leaders clearly understand,the U.S., in general, and our SuperCorridor through its heartland in particular, face dauntingchallenges in adapting to absorb the coming tsunami of burgeoning cargo freight tonnage. U.S.studies forecast national freight tonnage to increase nearly 70 percent by 2020. General cargotonnage is projected to more than double, with some key freight gateways expected to see atripling in freight volumes between 1998 and 2020.

As the demand for freight transportation grows, so will its overall contribution to the nation'seconomy and its challenges to highway capacity, congestion and the local environments. In1970, international trade represented just 12 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP).By 2000, trade surged to 25% of U.S. GDP. U.S. economists, however, expect trade to leap to35%or more of U.S. GDP by 2020.

From almost immediately after the Jan. 1, 1994 entry into effect of the North AmericanFree Trade Agreement (NAFTA), NASCa has sought out and backed Corridor-relatedinitiatives to enhance border security, safety and the operational efficiency of the existingtransportation infrastructure. NAFTA's reduction of import tariffs and trade barriers in NorthAmerica powerfully stimulated trade that strengthened the economies of its partner nations.Rather than the great fears of NAFTA job losses of 1994, today, in the U.s. and in NAscaCorridor states, net job creation and net employment have grown to and stayed at or nearhistorical highs.

NAsca uses the term "SuperCorridor" to demonstrate we are more than just a highwaycoalition. NASCa works to develop key relationships along the EXISTING corridors we

represent to maximize economic development opportunities for all affected by the flows.

NAsca's reach helps coordinate the development of technology integration projects,inland ports, environmental initiatives, university research, and the sharing of "bestpractices" across North America. NASCa's forte is in spurring coordination of efforts bylocal, state and federal agencies and the private sector to integrate and secure amultimodal transportation system along the existing "NASCa Corridor."

As of late, there have been many media references to a "new, proposed NAFTASuperhighway." While NASCa and the cities, counties, states and provinces along ourexisting Interstate Highways 35/29/94 (the NAsca Corridor) have referred for years to 135 and key branches as 'the NAFTA Superhighway' the reference solely acknowledgedand recognized I-35's major role in carrying a remarkable portion of international tradewith Mexico, the United States and Canada. In actual fact, there are no plans to build "anew NAFTA Superhighway." It already exists today as 1-35.

A decade ago, NAFfA captured the headlines of international trade. But today internationaltrade is global trade and requires even bolder and more aggressive efforts by our organizationand our leaders to meet the challengesand to extract maximum economic benefit for our peoplefrom exploding global trade.

For more than a decade, NASCa has encouraged the boldest thinking on adoption of tradeprocessing systems, logistics systems and information technology. Eighty percent of NASCamembers have 10 yearsof active service.

The subject of trade and transportation is much too important to leave to the uninformed.Here are the REAL facts:

In the 2pt century, tile U.S economy increasingly runs on trade and our trade runson transportation. Trade and the transportation facilities that sustain it are tied together.Future economic growth and job creation in the U.S. require a constant effort to enhanceour business climate, environment and transportation infrastructure to sustain our worldclass leadership in world trade.

NAsca's aim is to continuously, diligently upgrade the efficiency and security of ourtransportation systems to sharply increase the efficiency of our transportationinfrastructure on the SuperCorridor to drive down the cost of doing business and enhanceour ability to do international trade in the central U.S. Our future quality of life andprosperity depend upon ever-greater efficiencies and competitiveness enhancements inthe heartland of North America.

In reality, greater moves toward oversight, inspection, regulation and enforcement of eachof the three countries' national laws are leading to a strengthening of national sovereigntyin each of the three countries.

• NASCO is a nonprofit advocacy group, not a government agency. NASCOdoes not set transportation policy, build highways or set up customs facilities.

• NASCO is not building or encouraging the creation of 'a NAFTA

Superhighway.' 1-35 and key crossing interstates such as 1-80 already existand have been described as 'a NAFTA Superhighway' due to the loads theybear since the ]l994 passage of NAFTA. They require attention to supportfuture growth and trade.

• NASCO does not plan to have a Mexican Customs Office on "Mexican soil"within the U.S. that will bring in or stimulate entry of illegal immigrants.NASCO does not encourage the elimination of international borders.

• NASCO does not focus on or have any intent to effect Federal immigrationpolicy.

• NASCO advocates for balancing increased border security and trade andtransportation efficiency.

• NASCO exists to facilitate solutions to trade and transportation challengesand to stimulate economic development, job creation and prosperity.

----- Original Message ----From: Rachel ConnellTo: Rick Amebec:k~; Cecil Selness ; Brad Larsen; John TompkinsCc: Tiffany MelviI! ; Frank CondeSent: Tuesday, January 30, 20073:07 PMSubject: NASCa·· Dispelling the Myths in MN

Hello Gentleman:

During a phone conversation with John Tompkins yesterday, I mentioned the following ...

George Blackwood (NASCa President) has a good friend in Minnesota - Bob Koens. Boblives on Lake Minnetonka and has a real estate development company currently workingon a project in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico. Apparently, Bob has alot of influential friends& contacts. Bob's always looking out for NASCa and putting in a plug where he can. Herecently had a meeting with Senator Coleman and I sent him information to give theSenator on NASCa. The Senator responded that he'd heard about our organization andthis giant superhighway, loss of American jobs, basically the crazy conspiracy theoriesthat are swirling around right now. Bob gave a brief synposis of all the craziness & how it'suntrue. The Senator was not opposed to becoming involved or being supportive, he justwanted more facts on NASCa, benefits for MN & the US in general, etc. Bob mentioned

to the Senator that MINDOT had just joined & elected 2 board members. (I'd sent him theNAsca News)

SO...I've had our new staff member Frank come up with a NASCO/MN documentresponding to false charqes. He's also created a good piece that differentiates NASCO,the SPP, Trans-Texas Corridor, Council on Foreign Relations &sheds light on all parties.I've attached both of these documents, which I believe will be extremely beneficial forSenator Coleman. Bob suggested MNDOT write a short note explaining their involvementin NASCO, and sendinq all of these documents to the MN Members of Congress,Governor Pawlenty, and a few others. He's getting me their names.

I'd like to have your thoughts on this & moving forward. NASCO is more than happy todistribute and send out this information. Or if you'd rather it come from your office, that isfine as well. We're working on an op-ed piece that we eventually hope to send to allMembers of Congress along the Corridor and elected officials to brief them on whatNASCO is really about and how trade/transportation affects us all.

I look forward to hearing your comments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

NASCO Mission

North America's SuperCorridor Coalition's (NASCO) primary mission is to (a) develop theworld's first international, integrated, and secure multi-modal transportation system along theInternational Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor (1-35/29/94), and (b) improveboth trade competitiveness and the quality of life in North America. One of the critical aspectsof achieving this goal is thH deployment and operation of an 1-35/29/94 trade corridorrnanaqernent system that will:

• Identify situations that might impact the flow of commerce along the trade corridor• Integrate data from State or Province-based ITS systems to provide corridor awareness

for all corridor users• Deploy a corridor command and control capability that will provide a Common Operating

Picture and Total Domain Awareness of the trade corridor,• Provide the basis for efficient and secure multi-modal transportation.

To support the development of prototype NASCO Trade Corridor Management System, andmeasure its results to define and design what ultimately the NASCO Corridor managementSystem should be, this application is being submitted by North America's Super CorridorCoalition (NASCO), Cadre Technologies and Lockheed Martin Corporation (together referred toas Team) for $1.075 million in federal funding (2005 - STRAP 3 Transportation ProgramTracking Funding) to fund the North American Facilitation of Transportation, Trade,Reduced Congestion and Security (NAFTRACS) project.

Demonstrate the benefits of third-party information sharing and exchange between NASCO,its members, Federal Authorities (USA, Canada, Mexico), and State/Province/localgovernments, to support more efficient corridor traffic management, and the efficient andsate flow of commerce within and throughout the corridor.

a. Demonstrate the benefits of vehicle / route management from third-party datasources to support and facilitate corridor wide advanced risk assessment andmitigation, and regional disaster preparation and response.

2. Examine the economic costs of trade cooperation and compliance for secure trade versusenhancements in freight mobility and efficiency to identify a secure trade / supply chain costratio. Analysis would be based on freight measurements collected from the operationaltesting of NAFTRACS pilot prototypes.

demonstrate, throuqh simulated exercises, how it could support responses to a regional/ national disaster.

An operational NASCO Trade Corridor Management System based on this three year pilot planwill provide a basis for secure and more efficient trade along the 1-35/29/94 NAFTA tradecorridor, and will provide management tools for mitigating / managing traffic congestion on thecorridor. The NAFTRACS 3 Year Pilot will provide the capabilities, knowledge, and experiencenecessary to develop, deploy, and operate such a system.

The NAFTRACS Year 1 pilot -- which is scheduled to commence on November 1, 2006,given the approval of DOT/FHWA of this Application -- is designed to:

• Establish an infrastructure from which to prototype, test, develop, and productizecapabilities needed for the NASCO Trade Corridor Management System (TCMS)

• Analyze / develop / test / deploy / measure NASCO TCMS capabilities within andthroughout the NASCO defined corridor system.

The YE!ar 1 pilot will focus on:• Defining the supply-chain data required to support a TCMS, namely supply data needs /

uses, supply chain data sources, and supply chain data protection requirements;• Analyzing / developing / testing / deploying a basic TCMS and a supporting supply-chain

data warehouse which will provide the basis for developing TCMS corridor commonoperating picture and command and control capabilities; (this also includes the datacaptured from State or Province / regional ITS systems on highway situations andstatus)

• Analyzing / developing / integrating / testing / deploying a TCMS vehicle monitoring /tracking capability. This would include the installation of tracking and monitoringinfrastructure at a minimum of 8 initial locations throughout the corridor. The currentcandidate locations would be at ports, northern and southern border crossings, inlandports, and other locations along the corridor.

• Planning for the integration of DOT-sponsored prototype systems and other appropriatetechnologies.

To test and measure the TCMS prototype capabilities, data will be acquired from the supplychain activities of selected participants (namely sellers, buyers, shippers, carriers, warehouses,freight: forwarders, etc.), and the installed monitoring systems installed throughout the corridor.

TECHNICAL APPROACH

1. Background

NJ..~SCO Mission

North America's SuperGorridor Coalition's (NASCO) primary mission is to (a) develop theworld's first international, integrated, and secure multi-modal transportation system alongthE! International Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor (1-35/29/94), and (b)improve both trade competitiveness and the quality of life in North America. One of thecritical aspects of achievinq this goal is the deployment and operation of an 1-35/29/94 tradecorridor management system that will:

• Identify situations that might impact the flow of commerce along the trade corridor• Assist in rnanaqinq congestion• Track properly-equipped vehicles• Maintain information on vehicles and crew status as it moves along the trade

corridor• Integrate data from State or Province-based ITS systems to provide corridor

awareness for all corridor users• Present to operations personnel, a common operation picture of the trade corridor,• Provide a corridor command and control capability• Provide the basis for efficient and secure multi-modal transportation.

To support the development of prototype NASCO Trade Corridor Management Systemcapabilities and measure their results to define and design what ultimately the NASCOCorridor management System should be, this application is being submitted by NorthAmerica's SuperCorridior Coalition (NASCO), Cadre Technologies and Lockheed MartinCorporation (together referred to as Team) for $1.075 million in federal funding (2005 STRAP 3 Transportation Program Tracking Funding) to fund the North AmericanFacilitation of Transportation, Trade, Reduced Congestion and Security (NAFTRACS)project.

Tlire Integration ProjE!ct

The concept of a Trade Corridor Management System, rooted in the premise that securetrade is the basis for a trade corridor's economic growth and prosperity and supported byinformation-technology systems that help facilitate secure trade - is new. Many localizedefforts have addressed the freight management capabilities described in Table 1. Each ofthese has shown value. It is not our intent to reproduce these results, but to leverage andextend them, as and where appropriate and possible.

(See "Differences with Completed or On-going Projects" in Appendix 1)

WlJat's Needed

After reviewing the work results of prior freight-related DOT-supported studies, we haveidentlfied the following tasks that do not appear to have been addressed or need furtherwork. These are:

• a secure supply-chain data warehouse design / prototype• check-pointing vehicle progress along the corridor, in terms of trailer / container

weight and status• route plan filin~J and variance analysis• corridor common operating picture / command and control• examining ways to lower the entry costs for willing secure trade participants• an appropriate "Authority" to capture supply chain data.

Need for a Secure Supply-Chain Data Warehouse Design:

In the DOT's excellent report, "The Freight Technology Story," the authors stated that "Mostprivate firms are intensely protective of proprietary information. Intelligent freight projectsthat address freight status information can raise concerns about inadvertent exposure,especially in open network systems and about vulnerability to tort discovery and Freedom ofInformation Requests" These concems apply as much to private-sector data hubs as topublic-sector hubs." These same sentiments were echoed in the above mentioned DOTsponsored reports.

However none of these reports described:• what data was considered proprietary and what wasn't• how that data would be used/accessed and for what purpose• how that data could be sanitized• how that data could protected and viewed only by authorized personnel• how data use would be audited.

These issues were not the concerns of the freight management studies being performed,but they are fundamental to the design of.a NASCa Trade Corridor Management Systemand associated supply-chain data warehouse; where NASCa must be able to collect data,aqqreqate it, and employ it for the benefits of SUbscribing members, while protecting thedata rights and confidentiality of data owners.

Need for Tracking Trailer / Container Touches:

Part of establishing a container or trailer owner's trust is the accurate capture of informationregarding the container, its contents, its packers, and its handlers. Technologies such asSavi Technologies' for container security and tracking devices can provide valuable data


8


about the container's handling history, position, and security status. Our intent would be tocapture data from the use of SaviTrak security devices and Savi Nertworks datacommunications, aggregation and managsmsnt tools at the ports of Manzanillo, LazaroCardenas, and other key locations along the NASCO corridor, to US and Canadian inlandport destinations.Need for Check-pointing Vehicle Progress along the Corridor:

Vehicles, trailers, and containers routinely are processed at weight stations along the 13~5/29/94 corridor where crew credentials are checked and the weight of the load iscaptured.

Actions are only normally taken if the Vehicle / Trailer / Container weight is above the stateallowed maximum and data associated with the load's origination weiqht is not comparedwith the current weight. Further if these weight results were captured and stored, theywould provide a record of the vehicle's progress along the corridor that could be monitoredfor changes. Weight changes, not associated with shipping documentation updates thataccount for the weight change could be a warning signal for Federal and State or Provinceauthorities to investigate the vehicle in question.

Need for Route Plan Filing and Variance Analysis:

Airplanes regularly filB a flight plan. Why shouldn't all vehicles file such a plan?Logisticians prepare travel plans for their vehicles - so why notcapture these plans in aform amenable to trackinq the progress of vehicles? In this way,NASCO could track themovements of a vehicle against a filed travel plan, with information provided from a vehicle /container tracking service.

Need for Corridor Common Operating Picture / Command and Control:

Today's logistics management capabilities are not intended for providing a view of whatcommercial vehicles are traveling up and down the corridor. That is not what they weredesigned to do. However, being able to display commercial vehicle traffic on a displayalong with State or Province DOT advisories as to road and weather conditions, and otheralerts from Fire / Rescue / Police to visually show potential problems, and being able to alertcarriers and logistics managers about these problems to aid in keeping commercial trafficflowing smoothly is a new concept. Work needs to be performed to determine the bestways of rendering / presenting such displays for given sets of corridor managementproblems;

Need for Lowering the Entry Cost Barriers for Willing Secure Trade Participants:

Entry costs for equipment to support GPS tracking and reporting of containers may be toohigh for some small to mid-size carriers and shippers. Being able to obtain GPS trackingcapabilities through a buyer service, where the buyer service could negotiate lower costs isan idea worth exploring. Similarly, if procured via a buyer service, costs for container sealsand RFID equipment might be reduced.

Participation in secure trade .may have other positive effects such as reduced insurancepremiums. Work needs to be performed to further explore and test these ideas.

Need for the Appropriate Authority:

For the freight manaqament concepts evolved by US OaT and others to form the basis fortrade corridor management system, what is needed is for the appropriate "Authority" whosecharter it is to set-up quasi-governmental management ota trade corridor, and to championthe use of these and other systems to implement and operate a secure-trade-based tradecorridor management system.

NAsca is in the leading position to become such an authority for the 1-35/29/94tradecorridor. NASCa already has strong ties with key State Departments of Transportationalong the 1-35/29/94tirade corridor, as well as ties with Transport Canada and ManitobaTransportation. Further, NASCa includes among its members key maritime and inlandports in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and is uniquely positioned to champion thetrade corridor rnanaqement system concept.

;Potential for transit-"highwav" and transportation-public safety integration:

1N0t applicable to the NAFTRACS Pilot Project.

!Surface transportation system problems/shortfalls that this project seeks to correct;or improve:

Alerts along a corridor are primarily state or province based. By collecting alerts,warnings,and maintenance plans from state or province ITS systems, the NASCa TCMS pilot systemcould alert transportation logisticians / carrier dispatchers to identify for them a potentialproblem in time for alternate route planning.

1Explainany securilty enhancements and features of the proposed integration project:

'1. Monitoring the weight reports of containers 'l chassis and trailers along the corridor willassure any material weight changes will be identified and given the appropriateattention. Such weight changes might be an indication of theft or modification of thecontents of a container or trailer that should be explained.

:~. Where crews are assigned to open containers and transfer their contents to trailers, andwhen pallets are opened to validate seller-provided counts theft or shrinkage can occur.By keeping a rec:ord of the crew assigned to perform the goods transfer and countvalidation, the chances of employee-initiated theft may he reduced.

{;MS/DMS deployments that are part of AMBER Programs:

As part of the NAFTFlACS Year 1 Pilot Program, we do not anticipate generating alerts fordisplay on a eMS (Changeable Message Signs) I OMS (Dynamic Message Signs).However such alert postings provided by the NASCa TCMS would be accomplished via theState or Province I Flegional existing ITSs and would be displayed at the discretion of thosestate or regional transportation authorities.

5_ Evaluation of BE~nefits

A. This project aqrees to participate in Evaluation of Benefits as described under Section2.3 of the Guidance.

B. If this project is selected for independent evaluations, the project will cooperate with theindependent evaluators and participate in evaluation planning and progress reviewmeetings to ensure a mutually acceptable, successful implementation oftheindependent evaluation.

As this is the first year of a planned three year activity, the application of an independentevaluator to assess the results of the development-based tasks seems most appropriatefor grant years 2 and 3.

C. This project aqrees to collect, document, and annually report cost accounting data.

E. Discuss how the requirements of Section 2.3 of the guidance will be incorporated into theproposed project.

As this is the first year of a planned three year effort, we have identified the major goalareas where we expect the project to yield benefits. As part of our year 1 task work, wewill associate these goal areas with quantifiable outcomes, and determine how theyshould be measured for the planned performance tasks of years 2 and 3. Thesemeasurements shall be incorporated in our NAFTRACS Year 1 Pilot SystemsEngineering Artifacts Package."

F. Identify at least two of the issuesthat the Local Evaluation will address.

(a) perform a local evaluation funded from project resources and(b)submilt a Local Evaluation Report documenting the lessons learned inmeeting project goals and objectives.

In addition, the Local Evaluation Report will include the following evaluation products!activities identified with an "X" (identify at least two):

_X_ Evaluate the institutional issues associated with achieving cooperation amongpublic sector agencies, and document how they were overcome.

_X_ Provide a brief lessons learned report on the technical and institutional issuesencountered in integrating ITS components.

G. In the discussion sec:tion below, the project proposal identifies the steps that will be taken tomeet the evaluation requirements.

"Evaluatethe institutional issues ... ." In the planning and performance of our grant work,we will capture and document institutional issues associated with our dealings withpublic sector agencies. This will include interchanges with State DOT, local governmentagencies, and others as appropriate. We will capture our approach to solving Imitigating problems and document the outcomes, whether successful or not.

"Provide a brief lessone learned report ... :" In the planning and performance of our grantwork, we will be both interfacing with and incorporating ITS components. We willcapture lessons leamedin interface planning and the use of and required extension ofITS architectural components.

Per the grant requirements, these two analyseswill be packaged and included in theNAFTRACS Year 1 Pilot Local Evaluation Report.
