1 2015 Data review Capturing Ready Lane NEXUS vehicles Problem: NEXUS users make up the majority of traffic using the Ready Lane, but they are currently considered either standard traffic or Ready Lane traffic. This does not capture the true percentage of travelers using NEXUS to cross the border. Standard traffic Ready (NEXUS and EDL) STANDARD STANDARD READY NEXUS Only NEXUS traffic 1

2 Reported 2015 volumes at Peace Arch 2,675,283 total vehicles 39% NEXUS STANDARD STANDARD READY NEXUS 1,627,902 1,047,381 Proposed 2015 volumes at Peace Arch 2,675,283 total vehicles 44% NEXUS STANDARD STANDARD READY NEXUS 1,047,381 1,482, ,049 + Other ID: 8% of traffic or 11,603 92% of pax or 133,445 1,180,826 2

3 Caveats: Ready lane identification types are for individual passengers not vehicles. This assumes that if 92% of passengers in the Ready lane are NEXUS, that 92% of the vehicles would qualify as NEXUS vehicles. BUT clearly not always the case since the northbound numbers better align with the original NEXUS counts.

Ready Lane NEXUS vehicles at Sumas Problem: Unlike Peace Arch, Sumas operates its NEXUS lane as a Ready Lane all day, resulting in very small numbers of NEXUS cars as compared to those being captured as Ready. 25,000 23,500 READY LANE TOTAL PASSENGERS Sumas (southbound) Ready Lane passengers 22,000 20,500 19,000 17,500 16,000 14,500 13,000 11,500 10,000 8,500 7,000 5,500 4,000 2,500 1, ID = EDL ID = Passcard ID = NEXUS Larger % of EDLs and other ID at Sumas Jan-15 Feb-15 Mar-15 Apr-15 May-15 Jun-15 Jul-15 Aug-15 Sep-15 Oct-15 Nov-15 Dec-15 3

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC TOTAL Pt. Roberts/Boundary Bay Southbound (CBP) Buses Northbound (CBSA) Buses Both CBSA and CBP estimate numbers. 1 school bus crosses 2x a day = 10 a week = 40 a month. 1 special needs bus crosses 2x a day M-F. Changed this school year to M,Th,F = 10 a week = 40 a month Jan-Jun, then Sept-Dec only 25 a month Is CBP counting school buses in the counts? If not, that would explain discrepancy 4

19 26/02/ Avenue Study Recommendations Short Term Improvements (0-5 years) Sightline Improvements, additional signs and intersection lighting. RCMP pull-outs, more speed limit and radar speed warning signs. Slow moving vehicle pull-out lanes for farm vehicles. Establish a policy to reduce the number of driveways Consolidate driveways through Campbell Valley Park Wildlife fencing where feasible. 16 Avenue Study Recommendations Medium Term Improvements (6-15 years) Two-way left turn lanes in the sections with the most driveways: 184 Street to 192 Street, 192 Street to 200 Street, and 240 Street to 248 Street. Reduce the number of driveways where possible Upgrade and signalize the intersections of 208 Street, 232 Street, 272 Street, Lefeuvre Road and Bradner road when warranted. Erect additional wildlife fencing where feasible. 6
