Executive Order B-32-15 Sustainable Freight Action Plan

By July 2016, State agencies, in consultation with stakeholders, will develop action plan that:

• Establishes targets to: – Improve freight efficiency – Transition equipment to zero/near-zero emissions – Increase competitiveness of California system

• Identifies actions to advance State objectives • Defines corridor-level freight pilot projects

5

Challenge: envision the system in 2030 & 2050

• Future freight system − Hub locations and modes − Equipment and information technology − Freight and fuel/energy infrastructure

• Resilient and responsive to change − Economic demands and opportunities − Manufacturing and logistics innovation − Government expectations
