6 Surface and Intermodal Four Strategic Areas 6 Secure surface passenger transportation system Secure surface freight transportation system Secure surface and intermodal critical infrastructure and facilities Enhanced capacity to provide national leadership in surface and intermodal security Passenger Rail Urban Transit TDG by Truck TDG by Rail International Bridges and Tunnels Intermodal Freight Yards Security Management Systems Oversight capacity Evaluation capacity Research Strategy A collaborative effort is required among federal, provincial, municipal and industry partners. Stakeholder Relations

7 Supply Chain Security Project Framework PROJECT METHODOLOGY AND OBJECTIVES Partner with government (federal and provincial) and industry stakeholders to: 1.Identify the current security practices in place Canadas Gateways and Corridors; and 2.Identify potential areas for improvement. EXPECTED OUTCOMES 1.Increase Supply Chain Actors: Situational Awareness, Collaboration, Readiness and Resilience 2.Address the need for improvements, as applicable 3.Reduce the impact of security on the efficient flow of goods GATEWAY STRATEGIC GOAL National Policy Framework for Strategic Gateways and Trade Corridors (2007) was developed to: Guide investment and policy measures, Enhance infrastructure at key locations, and Promote the efficient movement of goods and people while mutually reinforcing public safety and economic security

8 Supply Chain Security Assessment Methodology, Phases and Approach

Federal Government National security, and regulation and/or service delivery in transportation, border operations, customs, and immigration Provinces Provincial transportation (policy, regulation and operations); provincial police services; emergency preparedness and response U.S. Government Collaborate with Canadian colleagues and counterpart agencies Industry Primary responsibility to ensure suitable standards of security in all facilities and operations along the supply chain 9 Supply Chain Partners Roles and Responsibilities
