GLNS: Economic Strength to the Nation
10% of all U.S. waterborne domestic traffic is on the GLNS
GLNS saves approx $3.6 billion per year over the next least costly mode of transportation
44,000 jobs directly related to maritime transport; 54,000 mining industry jobs; 138,000 steel industry jobs and hundreds of thousands more in agriculture, automotive, and manufacturing depend on the GLNS
One thousand-foot Laker holds 3000 truckloads Ships emit 90% less carbon dioxide than truck and
70% less than rail
Port of Toledo Impact
15 Marine Terminals handle over 700 vessel calls and 12 million tons of cargo per year. Thousands of jobs rely on the industry supported by the Port of Toledo
Majority of trade with US and Canadian Seaports within the GLNS. Port also trades with ports in Mexico, South America, Europe and Asia
Up to 20 vessels lay-by in Toledo each year generating millions of dollars of economic activity for shipyard workers and supply industries
Port of Toledo is the largest land mass port on the Great Lakes and the most cargo diverse.

So, How did we do it…?
We have great partnerships with our terminal operators
We worked steadfastly with our elected officials at the city, county, state and federal levels
Stimulus programs were geared toward transportation infrastructure
Ohio took the lead on making multi-modal investments with transportation funds
But…
Investments in infrastructure & economic impact won’t matter unless Toledo’s dredging issues are addressed with sustainable solutions considering the needs of industry, community and environment
If we can work together to address the needs of commerce and the environment we will achieve great things!
