This redefines the concept of “highest and best use.” Currently, the guiding principle in real estate development rivets attention to the site’s maximum coverage, density, height, and income, with little regard to the impacts on logistics and supply chain systems, quality of community life, and the environment. In many cases, the implications of moving material and people to and from a property are greater than what occurs at the property.

OTNA teaches how to use multiple commercially available freight databases to illuminate the supply chains that originate, terminate, and pass through a property’s region. This understanding enables land developers and realtors to target buyers or tenants who would most appreciate the property's logistics value.
 
Knowing the supply chains that a property can serve using rail when sensible boosts the volume of on-site services that can be provided and enables shippers to access a larger marketplace for material supply and product distribution.
 
Land use planning is widely practiced in transit-oriented development but rarely applied to logistics-oriented development. Optimizing a property’s use of highways and rail lines advances many public-sector objectives.
 
North America's development pace calls for carefully preserving land along rail rights-of-way. To optimize the productivity of the existing rail network, it is essential to limit non-rail shippers’ development of rail-adjacent property. Rail service requires access to rail lines. In the same way that communities preserve land along scenic lakefronts for low-impact, non-industrial uses, land adjacent to rail lines should be used as much as possible for rail-served industrial activities. Land is no longer so plentiful in North America that we can afford to use it unwisely.
 
'''''What sensible approaches should North America embrace?''' ''
 
* Support developers in designing sustainable logistics plans
* Preserve land along rail ROWs for rail-served development
* Create a continental rail-served property database
* Co-locate utility and transportation corridors
* Co-locate passenger and freight rail lines
* Offer property tax incentives to shippers using the rail system
* Develop corridor rail development and operating plans
 
As the continent embarks on facilitating the rail service expansion envisioned in CAPSI, it must recognize that Industrial Land Value Optimization is critical to attracting private-sector investment capital in sustainable industrial systems.

With Content:

OUR GOAL: Develop plans that can be put to immediate use to make our currently fragmented supply chains and industrial/civic infrastructure more efficient, environmentally and economically sustainable, and profitable for all.
SCOPE: Local, regional, national, and continental (Canada, United States, Mexico). We will redesign our fragmented industrial systems, from natural resources, agriculture, and raw materials to production, consumption, and recycling – and weave the use of railroads, trucks, and waterways into a balanced multimodal transportation network.
HOW: With your involvement in online and in-person IntelliConferences® that use IntelliSynthesis®,  an inquiry-based method of gathering collective intelligence into productive solutions. Developed by OnTrackNorthAmerica, this approach allows creative information-gathering, brainstorming, and actionable decision-making by large groups of stakeholders. OnTrackNorthAmerica’s leaders bring the insight and perspectives they acquired from 30+ years of infrastructure advisory work on projects and systems in 45 states and Canadian provinces.
