INTRODUCTION
• Benefits of Deh Cho Bridge• Overview of Tolling System– Toll Structure– Infrastructure– Enforcement/Regulation
• Questions and Comments
• Year Round Uninterrupted Access• Reduced Vulnerability to the Effects of
Climate Change• Reduced Energy Consumption and
Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Trucking and Ferry Operations
• Reduced Risk of Fuel Spills• Reduced Cost of Living• Increased Economic Development, esp. from
Tourism• Reduced Sense of Isolation
OVERALL BENEFITS
• Reduced Down Time for Equipment• Greater Certainty for Supply Chain / JIT Delivery• Increased Cycle Time• Reduced Fuel Consumption - Emissions• Increased Competitiveness with Southern Firms• Shortened Delivery Time• 24 Hour Service • Reduced Warehousing Costs
INDUSTRY BENEFITS
PRE-CLEARANCE• Partners in Compliance Program (PIC) Motor
carrier safety program initiated in Alberta that rewards motor carriers with exemplary safety records.
• The Department of Transportation has signed an MOU with the Alberta Motor Transport Association to expand PIC to the NWT.
