Relevance of the Econ Devel ViewRelevance of the Econ Devel View
• Areas left out of the interstate highway system; lacking basic connections
• Existing connections degrading due to congestion
• New connections justified by emerging global economy (intermodal, air, seaport connections)

Invest in Major Corridor Transportation System …or Status Quo?
Compared to the Investment Scenario…• “Status Quo” traffic congestion will add over
112,000 vehicle-hours of delay daily• “Status Quo” rail bridge limitations will reduce
train activity by 11/day

Analysis process (DelCan, GVTA and Economic Development Research Group) :
• detailed traffic simulation model• railroad facility supply/demand forecasting• four province economic simulation models• international trade and competitiveness model• analysis of infrastructure scenarios on
production, imports/exports, & cost sensitivity.

Direct EffectsDirect EffectsGround Transport • Cars – increase in travel expense ($134 million/yr)• Trucks – raise shipper costs; reduce business
competitiveness & attraction ($280 million/yr)• Rail – capacity limitation: businesses seek
alternative routes at higher cost (1100 railcars/day)
Ports • Marine ports – higher cost, shift activity elsewhere• Airport – raise costs for airport use
Diff: Build vs. Not

Challenges for Connecting to Challenges for Connecting to Ports of LadingPorts of Lading
• Ports of lading and firm locations are related
• Appalachia in the middle of an auto mfg. corridor stretching from Canada to Mexico
• Eastern Counties in Appalachia exports more to Europe – easier access to east coast ports
• Western portion of in Appalachia exports more within North America – better access to key industrial areas in US, Canada, Mexico
