5 INTRODUCTION 5 The International Mobility & Trade Corridor Program - IMTC The International Mobility & Trade Corridor Program (IMTC) is a binational, regional coalition of government, business interests, and non-governmental entities established to support the improvement of safety, mobility, and security for the Cascade Gateway - the five land border portsof-entry connecting Western Washington State and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. The IMTC program is administered by the Whatcom Council of Governments (WCOG), a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) in Bellingham, WA. Through the IMTC program, participants coordinate planning, identify shared system needs, and optimize investments and operations through collaboration, innovation, and partnership. For twenty years the IMTC program has coordinated regional, binational planning and partnerships advancing projects funded by U.S. and Canadian agencies to pursue the above goals. Cumulatively, these improvements have totaled over $41 million (USD). Goals and strategies IMTC participants have identified goals along with specific strategies to accomplish them. These goals and strategies are periodically reviewed and revised to best align with changing regional needs and changes in the policy and legal environment around crossborder trade and travel. Goal 1: Coordinate planning For a collection of border crossings that together serve a major North American travel and trade corridor, IMTC fills the critical need for continuous and structured communication between the multiple agencies and entities whose facilities and operations converge at our shared border. S1.1 Regularly convene representatives of the agencies that own and operate regional border crossing transportation and inspection facilities. S1.2 Develop and maintain crossborder, interagency, cross-sector relationships that are essential for efficient and effective communication, trust-based decision making, and advancing improvements through partnership. S1.3 Facilitate continuous involvement and dialogue with representatives of industries that depend on cross-border connections as well as stakeholders from non-governmental organizations and academia. S1.4 Develop and periodically update a list of projects (infrastructure, operations, information technology, planning, communications) that address shared needs of IMTC program participants. S1.5 Support improvement and operation of the Cascade Gateway as a system rather than five individual ports-of-entry. S1.6 Plan for future capacity of Cascade Gateway land border facilities as trade and travel volumes grow, periodically update estimates of how all modes (road, rail, marine, and air) could be optimally used to servce international transportation demand on the corridor. S1.7 Engage with other regional, crossborder coalitions and participate in the border-wide Canada - U.S. Transportation Border Working Group (TBWG). S1.8 Conduct near-term and long-term planning for the Cascade Gateway.

7 INTRODUCTION 7 Goal 2: Improve regional, cross-border trade and transportation data Planning and systems management requires current, data-based information. Furthermore, information best supports interagency cooperation when all parties are involved in how data are collected and synthesized. S2.1 Collect and share transportation and trade data. S2.2 Maintain and improve border wait time systems. S2.3 Maintain and improve data products including border wait time data archives, booth status data, and periodic sample surveys of cross-border trucks and passenger vehicles. Goal 3: Support infrastructure improvements Border crossing infrastructure (roads, port facilities, information systems hardware, etc.) is an aggregation of components owned and operated by multiple agencies in two countries. Therefore, in the border environment, dedicated attention to coordinated planning, design, and project delivery is needed in order to identify and benefit from the many opportunities for increased efficiency and productivity. Sustained, proactive coordination also increases opportunities for funding partnerships. S3.1 Improve border crossing approach roads. S3.2 Improve cross-border rail. S3.3 Improve corridor connections of trade and travel routes. S3.4 Integrate Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). S3.5 Encourage harmonization of crossborder ITS systems, standards, and products. Goal 4: Support coordinated implementation of U.S. and Canadian border policy IMTC provides an important mechanism for federal and sub-national government agency representatives to collaboratively assess needs for policy change and consider if multi-agency strategies could improve implementation of adopted national and binational policies. S4.1 Coordinate improvements, operations, and communications in accordance with the goals of federal policies including the Beyond the Border Action Plan. S4.2 Specifically, maximize coordination with annual updates to the Binational Infrastructure Investment Plan (BIIP).

8 8 INTRODUCTION S4.3 Complement, as appropriate, border related initiatives of British Columbia and Washington State, including memoranda of coopration and the Joint Transportation Executive Council (JTEC). S4.4 Explore options for funding future Cascade Gateway improvements including binational financing mechanisms. Goal 5: Improve operations IMTC supports dialogue between agencies, industries, and communities that helps identify and evaluate possible improvements to how border facilities are operated and how some aspects of traffic and inspection programs (e.g. NEXUS, FAST) are managed. S5.1 Improve traffic management at all Cascade Gateway ports-of-entry. S5.2 Support ongoing effectiveness of the NEXUS program. S5.3 Support optimal operations of the FAST (Free and Secure Trade) programs. S5.4 Coordinate support for adequate staffing of border inspection facilities. S5.5 Use data-based tools to evaluate operational alternatives such as transportation demand modeling and facility simulation modeling. S5.6 Support integration of information systems when appropriate including ITS. S5.7 Support identification of consistent funding for maintenance of ITS S5.8 Support operational improvements envisioned under the Beyond the Border Action Plan: S5.8.1: Support implementation of pre-clearance for passenger rail. S5.8.2: Support consideration of alternatives enabled by a preclearance agreement such as shared border operations zones at portsof-entry and off-border inspection functions. S5.8.3: Support adoption and application of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology (for both NEXUS and non-nexus travel documents). IMTC structure The IMTC is organized as follows: Steering Committee The Steering Committee meets monthly and is the working level group consisting of the government agencies with operational responsibilities at the Cascade Gateway ports-of-entry. Starting with federal, state, and provincial inspection and transportation agencies, the Steering Committee also includes other government departments (consulates, facilities agencies), at-border municipalities, legislative offices, and project-level partners. Core Group The Core Group (which includes the Steering Committee) includes industry associations, non-governmental organizations, and other government entities with a more general interest in border operations and policy. The Core Group is the decision-making body of IMTC.

11 IMTC projects IMTC has helped identify and fund over two dozen infrastructure, operational, and research projects since The following list is a chronology of IMTC projects (from most recent to oldest). More details about each project can be found on the IMTC website at: Border Freight Operations Study (Active) This project is updating regional freight data for all commercial ports-ofentry, including the collection of data regarding origin- destination, commodity, vehicle type, and trusted trader status. Additional data on commercial wait times are also being collected at specific ports-ofentry. This data updates commercial vehicle data last collected in 9. Dynamic Border Management (Active) The Dynamic Border Management project is three integreated tasks that address Cascade Gateway challenges of maintaining wait-time system accuracy and maximizing system capacity. The project has developed a border facilities simulation platform, developed a business case for an RFID pilot project, and has examined a model-based wait time validation and calibration methodology. Booth Status Data Integration (Completed 17) WCOG received a grant from U.S. FHWA and matching funds from B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (BCMOTI) to implement the integration of U.S. Customs & Border Protection data with BCMOTI s advanced traveler information system. This dataset improves southbound wait time estimates INTRODUCTION 11 at the four primary Cascade Gateway crossings. 13 Passenger Vehicle Intercept Survey (Completed 14) WCOG partnered with the Border Policy Research Institute at Western Washington University to collect new data similar to the 8 Passenger Survey to analyze cross-border traffic patterns, trip purposes, demographics, and assess how these factors have changed over the last five years. Border Data Warehouse (Completed 14) This project archives cross-border traffic data collected from U.S. and Canadian border wait time systems between Whatcom County, WA and B.C., providing online reports to partner agencies and the public regarding historic wait times at the border. This project continues to improve ways to track system performance and changing demands. Sumas/Abbotsford - Huntingdon Improvements (Completed 13) WCOG and WSDOT completed improvements to northbound traffic movements in Sumas that include an alternate route signage system for long queue conditions and the addition of a northbound NEXUS lane. BCMOTI also constructed a southbound NEXUS lane at Sumas, which will be lengethened over the next few years.

12 12 INTRODUCTION NEXUS Marketing (Completed 12): WCOG partnered with CanadaBorder Services Agency (CBSA), U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP), WSDOT, and BCMOTI to distribute promotional material concurrent with NEXUS expansion in the Cascade Gateway as well as to promote enhanced drivers licenses. This also included updates to the website. FAST Pilot Study (Completed 12): WSDOT funded a study to assist CBP estimating the effects on commercial vehicle wait times if the layout and operations of the southbound FAST lane at Pacific Highway changed. The study was conducted by WCOG and BPRI. Border Circulation A nalysis (Completed ): This project has informed agencies common understanding of investments needed for preserving the eastwest transportation network that serves the Cascade Gateway border system. Phase I used existing data and stakeholder feedback to identify primary cross-border routes. The goal was to optimize the Cascade Gateway network as well as develop a plan for subsequent improvemets. Phase II work is pending funding. I-5 Interchange Justification (Completed ): This interchange justification report (IJR) for Interstate 5 Exit 274 in Blaine, WA included an analysis of Exits 275 and 276. The report provides options for developing Exit 274 as a full interchange. Aldergrove / Lynden Assessment (Completed ): IMTC participants completed a collaborative, data-based review of regional trade and travel flows and used this analysis to inform a review of future facility requirements of this crossing. A final report was issued in. IMTC Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) Survey (Completed 9): WCOG partnered with BPRI and the University of Washington to evaluate commercial vehicle movement through the Cascade Gateway. Analysis included measurement of border arrival and processing rates at all three crossings, as well as the collection of origin-destination and commodity data. NEXUS Market Feasibility Study (Completed 9): WCOG partnered with BPRI to interview travelers at Lynden- Aldergrove and Sumas / Abbotsford- Huntingdon to assess regional travelers knowledge of the NEXUS program. Passenger Vehicle Intercept Survey (Completed 8): BPRI, in partnership with WCOG, completed a passenger vehicle intercept survey to collect origin-destination, trip purpose, travel pattern, and crossing frequency data. FAST Promotion (Completed 8): WCOG, in partnership with U.S. and Canadian inspection agencies, conducted a series of training sessions, outreach, and promotions to increase regional enrollment in the FAST programs.

13 INTRODUCTION 13 Weigh - in - Motion Software Integration (Completed 8): This project connected B.C. and WA State commercial vehicle inspection systems to improve the movement of trade along the Cascade Gateway corridor. IMTC CVO Evaluation Survey (Completed 6): An analysis similar to the 9 evaluation of commercial vehicle processing was completed to monitor changes since the 2 analysis. Shortsea Shipping Study (Completed 6): This study analyzed the potential of shortsea shipping to serve a meaningful share of the future West Coast cross-border freight traffic, and described the most feasible service types and supporting actions that governments could take. Highway 15 Improvements (Completed 4): Improvements to B.C. Highway 15 included dedicated NEXUS and FAST lanes, an improved truck parking facility, and signage. NEXUS Lane (Completed 4): A dedicated NEXUS lane was constructed on southbound B.C. Highway 99 to provide NEXUS travelers with a longer queue bypass. Abbotsford - Sumas Border Project (Completed 3): This binationally funded project identified deficiencies and solutions to address the need for parking for southbound trucks and to alleviate frequent blockage of streets in the City of Sumas. Based on this project, a new parking facility was developed in Huntingdon, and a subsequent Sumas Border Enhancements initiative improved truck signage and rerouting of vehicles during congestion to avoid city center blockages. NEXUS Marketing (Completed 3): This project conducted a promotional campaign for the NEXUS program, including advertising, in-queue distribution of materials, and sign installation, backed up by the establishment of a regional web portal, getnexus.com. IMTC CVO Evaluation Survey (Completed 2): This was the Cascade Gateway s first commercial vehicle evaluation to measure impacts of ITS-enabled prearrival information at the border. Cascade Gateway Rail Study (Completed 2): This study identified freight and passenger rail traffic that could possibly be served by expanded crossborder rail services and the improvements needed to pursue these scenarios. The study also assessed cross-border commuter rail service between Bellingham, WA and Vancouver, B.C. and the potential of a Scott Road Amtrak station in Surrey, BC. Advanced Traveler Information System (Completed 1): This system provides real-time border wait time information for travelers to improve Cascade Gateway route choice. The system also provides archived data for CascadeGatewayData.com. IMTC Trade & Travel Study (Completed ): This study collected passenger and commercial vehicle data at all Cascade Gateway ports-of-entry. PACE & CANPASS Promotion (Completed ): This project marketed the PACE and CANPASS pre-approved traveler programs to regional travelers. These programs were the predecessors of today s binational NEXUS program.

14 The Cascade Gateway 3rd busiest passenger car crossing on the U.S. - Canada border (Blaine, WA) 76% of travelers cross at least once a month 67% increase in passenger traffic in last years $53 million every day in cross-border trade (USD)

15 THE CASCADE GATEWAY 15 The Cascade Gateway System of Border Crossings Over 33, cars and 3, trucks cross through the Cascade Gateway system of border crossings every day, carrying almost $53 million (USD) in daily trade. The Cascade Gateway is a prominent international trade and travel connection. Because of the proximity of the five land ports-of-entry between Whatcom County, WA and the Lower Mainland of BC, the IMTC Program considers them to be a system of border crossings. Impacts at one crossing have repercussions for the other areas of the region. Solutions to challenges must be evaluated in terms of how they affect efficiency, mobility, and security at all of the regional ports. The Cascade Gateway, from west to east, includes: Point Roberts - Boundary Bay This crossing operates 24 hours a day and primarily processes passenger vehicles. It has a NEXUS lane and also processes commercial vehicles. Peace Arch - Douglas The third busiest vehicle crossing on the U.S. - Canada border processes passenger vehicles only.

In addition to serving regional trade and travel flows, Sumas - Abbotsford-Huntingdon is a common route choice linking Trans Canada Highway 1 to U.S. Interstate 5. The port has seen a surge of NEXUS traffic since dedicated approach lanes were provided in both directions, but southbound NEXUS travelers often find the NEXUS lane too short to provide a bypass of standard traffic lineups. An extension of the dedicated lane is planned to be built soon.
