FTZ CONCLUSIONS!
• FTZ’s offer superior Velocity now
• FTZ’s offer superior Security now
• FTZ’s offer superior cost reduction vs. standard importing.
BOTTOM LINE:
• This Economy is REQUIRING CUTS in Supply Chain Costs
• FTZs are much easier to administer now with ASF
• If you qualify, you can’t afford NOT to participate!

Local/Regional Economic Development Approach
1. Development plan that recognizes logistics as a targeted industry sector, not just another piece of infrastructure.
2. Research that supports and validates your position in global and domestic supply chains.
3. Know who your customer is. 4. Develop strong connections with partners in the
freight industry: railroads, shippers, 3PL’s, trucking firms, DC owners, developers, etc.
5. Be honest about infrastructure deficiencies and your solutions.
37
Local/Regional Economic Development Approach
6. Strong government relations program at local, regional, state and federal levels.
7. Workforce development and education/training services a must.
8. Promote collaborative solutions to multi-jurisdictional challenges, e.g. designated freight/truck routes, overweight permitting and enforcement, zoning and design standards, users fees, etc.
9. Provide a single point of contact regarding development opportunities, incentives, major developments and other information points key to the industry.
10. Secure adequate resources to accomplish the above.

U.S. Supply Chain
Rail delivers everything Americans consume daily
– Cars and Combines
– Clothes and Shoes
– Stereos and TVs
– Food and Water
– Lumber and Steel
– Energy and Fuel
– … many others, such as bread & cereal
70% of America's GDP is Consumer Driven
$1.4 trillion in goods and economic activity 8 million jobs
Key to global competitiveness

Leading Edge Site Location Strategies
Cost-Focused, Network Consolidation, Optimization
Shared Services from Infrastructure to Distribution
Location Strategy Linked to Business Drivers & Operational Strategy
A Seamless Network of Manufacturers, Suppliers, Storage Facilities, Distributors,
Transporters, & Retailers
Supply Chain Optimization

Modal Optimization
42
Best be defined as a shipping mode or mix of shipping modes that best fits a company’s shipping strategy.
Supply Chain Intermodal Transportation
Inter-changeable Movement
Standard-size containers inter-changeable among all surface transport modes:
• water • highway• rail
Seamless movement with speed and reliability.
Lower Cargo Transport Costs Reduced Cargo Damage.
43
Assumptions:
• Average Dock-to-Dock Truck Rate = $1,950
• Convert 100% of Inbound FTL to IM Container
• 10,000 Truckloads Results in $19.5 Million in Total Freight Charges
• 1:1 Conversion Ratio
• Intermodal = $17.6 Million in Total Freight Cost
SAVINGS $1.9 Million per Facility
• 1 Trailer to 1 Domestic Container
• 2 Containers Double Stacked
• Dock-to-Dock COFC Rates Save Up To 15% off Dock-To-Dock Full Truckload Rates
DC Intermodal Savings 10,000 Full Truck Loads/Year

BNSFHub
Two Potential DC Sites Under Consideration:
Site A -- 5 miles from BNSF hub
Site B -- 150 miles from BNSF hub
Annual inbound units 10,000
x Drayage cost differential (A-B): $600
Annual Co-Location Savings $6,000,000

Assumptions:
• Average Dock-to-Dock Truck Rate = $1,950
• Convert 25% of Inbound Freight to Boxcar
• 2,500 Truckloads Results in $4.9 Million in Total Freight Charges
• 3.6:1 Conversion Ratio to Boxcar = 700 Boxcars
• Boxcar = $3.5 Million in Total Freight Cost
SAVINGS $1.4 Million per Facility
• 3 to 4 Trailers Can Be Loaded into 1 Boxcar
• Dock-to-Dock Boxcar Rates Save Up To 30% off Dock-To-Dock Full Truckload Rates
DC Carload Savings 10,000 Full Truck Loads/Year

Rail Super Highways
You can’t put a curb cut in an Interstate Highway every 50 feet and expect it to work!
Carload Project Requirements Power switch Signalized Capacity to clear mainline at speed Double ended sidings 8,000 – 10,000 feet long
53
Consequences of Poor Facility Location and Design
Complicates train make-up and dismantling process
Complicates train operation with set-outs and pick-ups
Adds time to overall transit
Increases volatility of service (less reliable)
Increases costs of providing service
– Facility operating costs
– Train operating costs
More difficult to justify infrastructure investment
54
Economic Development Services
Confidential full service site location & facility development assistance.
Site location studies.
Design & infrastructure requirements assistance.
State & local permitting assistance.
One-stop service & coordination with the railway.
55
Conclusion
Freight density is critical to a rail network
Intermodal facilities (inland & port) are key to driving freight density
Routes should be high capacity and options should be limited
Effective development of a rail network drives:
Reduction in service complexity
Reliability of service
Profitability
Soon, we are going to be up to our necks in ALLIGATORS

John Greuling- Will County Center for ED
J. Vann Cunningham- BNSF Railroad
Questions for the Panel
1. Which types of facilities will locate where? And which regions are likely to see the benefits?
2. How do you see the role of transportation changing in the future and impacting site selection?
3. Will boxcar freight make a comeback? Where?4. How much public funding was used in these projects? What were/are
the sources?5. How does a community assess its potential as a transportation hub?6. What about incentives? If you have all of the right transportation assets
do you need them?7. What are the biggest community impacts both good and bad of large
scale multi-modal facilities?8.9.
