TRANSCRIPT
5th Bi-Annual Border to Border Conference
Performance Measures at Commercial Ports of Entry
Juan Carlos Villa
Agenda
• Land border crossing operations
• Land border performance measures
• Challenges/Opportunities
• Next Steps
Land Border Crossing Operations Surface trade
grew from $97 billion to more than $400 billion since NAFTA started.
More than $30 billion dollars of trade traffic cross the border on a monthly basis
Surface Trade between U.S. and Mexico
Land Border Crossing Operations
Crossings grew from 3 to more than 3.5 million between 2000 and 2013.
Average annual growth higher than GDP growth
Land Border Crossing Operations
Three potential inspection points
Multiple stakeholders:•2 countries•Public and Private•Federal, state, local
All need to be coordinated

Land Border Crossing Operations
Poor travel time reliability at land border crossings
Negative Impacts
• Supply chain performance• Inventory costs• Vehicle Emissions• Regional economic impacts

Land Border Performance Measures
Freight Fluidity
• Transport Canada’s “fluidity indicator”
• Evaluate the performance of trade corridors and multi-modal supply chains.
• Measures total transit time and travel time
reliability of goods along defined supply chains.
Land Border Performance Measures
Border Freight Fluidity
How “fluid” the supply chains at international border crossings are operating in terms of
mobility and reliability.
Land Border Performance Measures
Two performance components: 1. Mobility and reliability measures:
o Delayo Extent/duration/intensity of congestiono Cost of wasted fuelo Cost of timeo Economic impacts
Border Freight Fluidity
2. How much freight is moved?o Truck volumes by time of day
Empty Loaded FAST Non-FAST
o Weighto Value (by commodity type)
Land Border Performance Measures
Challenges Capture additional information to supplement
current measures:• Volumes by empty, loaded, FAST, Non-FAST• Commodity (inside the box)• Annual Congestion Cost – value of truck
operating costs plus wasted fuel
Complement measures to include the whole supply chain
Opportunities Take advantage of emerging technologies
• GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi Develop additional applications with input
from private and public sector stakeholders• Annual Congestion Cost – value of truck
operating costs plus wasted fuel• Emissions
Provide information for border crossing operations to carriers, shippers, federal and state agencies
