Maryland Benefits
The National Gateway delivers more than $2 billion of public benefits to Maryland:
- Over 2.5 million tons reduction in carbon dioxide emissions
- Almost $90 million savings in highway maintenance costs
- More than $450 million savings in logistics costs
The National Gateway will provide competitive intermodal service between the Port of Baltimore and Midwest metro areas. A new Northwest Ohio transfer yard and double-stack clearances will improve existing service and expand freight shipping options between Maryland and Midwest markets by 114 percent.
