The Regional Freight Plan will build on the 2022 Study and will identify the region’s critical multi-modal freight network locations. It will then analyze these locations for freight mobility, economic impact, and resiliency. The Plan will produce freight project and policy recommendations for these critical freight network locations. The expected deliverables for this project are a comprehensive regional plan that provides project partners (public and private) with a series of short-, medium-, and long-term, strategies and guidance, for future investments to facilitate multi-modal freight mobility within and through the region.
