摘要：	In an effort to recommend regionally comprehensive border management solutions that will simultaneously reduce cost to carriers, and air emissions, UW researchers will work with the International Mobility and Trade Corridor Project (IMTC), a cross-border planning coalition focused on the border crossings of this region, to design a robust data collection effort focused on commercial vehicles at the three freight crossings in the Cascade Gateway. While the data collection itself will be carried out by Western Washington University students, this study will analyze the data to consider solutions aimed at reducing truck idling and therefore air emissions. This work will continue the compilation of a data time-series, a continuing effort from similar studies of 2002 and 2006. With the data collection effort, an understanding of commodity types and distribution, origin and destination of shipments, and other relevant load characteristics can be obtained. This will be used to evaluate the impact of a set of improvement strategies with respect to emission and idle reduction. The study will evaluate vehicles at the three Cascade Gateway commercial vehicles POEs at Pacific Highway, Lynden, and Sumas for both northbound and southbound. This will allow for consideration of diversion strategies between POEs, with particular consideration of the Free and Secure Trade program and infrastructure, and cross border freight logistics. Solution strategies may include pricing mechanisms for border crossings that are time of day dependent, or changes in policies that create the need for equipment interchanges near the border. This study will provide information to reduce the impact on public health, maintain an efficient and safe border, and protect the air quality of our region. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Department of Transportation, Washington, DC.
