Northern Border Activities P-1 July 2012
APPENDIX P
REGIONAL ECONOMIC PROFILES OF SELECTED PORTS OF ENTRY AND BORDER
PATROL STATIONS
Northern Border Activities P-2 July 2012
REGIONAL ECONOMIC PROFILES OF SELECTED POES AND BP STATIONS This appendix provides tables summarizing key economic sector data and trade statistics for the ports of entry (POEs) and Border Patrol stations (BPS) profiled in Sections 4.9, 5.9, 6.9, and 7.9 of this report. The 21 profiled sites represent many of the most heavily utilized POEs along the U.S.-Canada border in terms of total crossings and the total value of trade, as well as a sampling of smaller, more rural, POEs and POEs that occur in geographically distinct areas. Specifically, the 21 sites with 22 POEs and 9 BPSs, include:
The most heavily trafficked POEs, with more than 80 percent of all individual crossings;
The most economically significant POEs, with more than 90 percent of the trade value of cargo;
Sites that have an active BPS, but are located in a state without a land POE;
The port that accounts for the greatest number of international ferry crossings; and,
One site with a POE on Tribal lands.
The tables in this appendix are organized by geographic region of the profiled POE and BPS sites from west to east, following the discussion included in Section 3.9.3.5. The following geographic regions contain the profiled sites:
West of the Rockies: This region includes six of the profiled POEs: Port Angeles (with co-located BPS), Blaine (with co-located BPS), Sumas (with co-located BPS), Roosville (with co-located BPS), Port Roberts, and Porthill.
East of the Rockies: This region includes four of the profiled POEs: Piegan, Sweetwater, Pembina, and International Falls.
Great Lakes: This region includes seven of the profiled POEs: Sault Ste. Marie (with co-located BPS), Detroit (with co-located BPS), Port Huron, Buffalo-Niagara Falls, Alexandria Bay/Cape Vincent, Massena, and Champlain-Rouses Point. The region also includes the Sandusky and Erie BPSs, which do not include a POE.
New England: This region includes two of the profiled POEs: Calais and Derby Line.
Tables P-1 through P-18 describe the top economic sectors (by payroll and employment) for the U.S. counties or Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) along the border that contain the 21 profiled sites from west to east. Tables P-19 through P-24 provide this same information for the relevant Canadian provinces. Finally, Tables P-25 through P-43 summarize the trade value of major commodities that are transported across the border at each of the profiled POEs by rail, truck, mail, foreign trade zone, or other means of surface transportation (excluding air, pipeline, or vessel). All monetary values are expressed in 2009 U.S. dollars.
