Economic Impacts on Transportation of the US/Canada Border

项目名称：	Economic Impacts on Transportation of the US/Canada Border
摘要：	The objective for this project is to understand the economic impacts of border delays on such economic indicators as retail sales, tourism and employment. This task order would build on previous studies such as the Taylor study, which found that the border management system as well as trade policies cost the U. S. and Canadian economies an estimated U. S. $7.52 billion to $13.20 billion. These costs relate to specific costs to carriers and manufacturers and carriers for duties, broker fees, customs administration, etc., and cost for inspection staffs borne by the two governments. The Taylor study, whose formal name is, The U. S. - Canada Border: Cost Impacts, Causes and Short to Long Term Management Options, was published in 2003. This task order would address the economic costs of the current travel times and analyze the economic savings from reduced travel times resulting from Free and Secure Trade Program (FAST), NEXUS, and other improvements at border crossings. This task order will build on activities to date that have been funded by other research efforts and coordinate with Canadian counterparts to gather information that will be used in the technical documents that will be produced.
