Why a Statewide Freight Transportation Plan?

• To understand statewide freight movement

dynamics and relationship to economic

vitality

• To provide a long-term freight investment

roadmap for the State

• To leverage existing plans, goals, and

priorities from across the State

• To help position the State for federal funds

for freight infrastructure improvements

What will the Plan achieve?

• Provide an improved understanding of why, how, where, and when freight moves in NYS and how it supports the State’s economy

• Create a structure for continuous interaction between freight stakeholders and NYSDOT

• Identification and prioritization of near and long-term investment needs in freight infrastructure and operations

• Provide a roadmap for investing in freight-supportive projects and programs that foster economic vitality and quality of life for New Yorkers

How will the Plan be used?

• To support investment planning for projects

and programs by NYSDOT and other agencies

• To facilitate alignment and coordination of

local and regional plans with state plans

• To provide a foundation for improved freight

data collection, analysis, and application

• To provide tools and metrics for monitoring

and improving performance of NYS’s freight

transportation system

NYS Freight Plans: Common Themes

Developing Goals

• Goal statements make explicit what New

York intends to accomplish to improve

freight movement.

• Federal transportation law, Moving Ahead

for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21),

establishes a series of national freight

goals. These are used to guide New York’s

goals.

• These are in draft, and will benefit from

your input.

MAP-21 National Freight Goals

1 Invest in infrastructure improvements and to implement operational

improvements that:

- strengthen the contribution of the national freight network to the economic

competitiveness of the United States;

- reduce congestion; and

- increase productivity, particularly for domestic industries and businesses that

create high-value jobs.

2 Improve the safety, security, and resilience of freight transportation.

3 Improve the state of good repair of the national freight network.

4 Use advanced technology to improve the safety and efficiency of the national

freight network.

5 Incorporate concepts of performance, innovation, competition, and

accountability in the operation/maintenance of the national freight network.

6 Improve the economic efficiency of the national freight network.

7 Reduce the environmental impacts of freight movement on the national freight

network.

Draft NYS Freight Goals Invest for the Future

New York State’s freight transportation system should anticipate future freight growth, and ensure the most

efficient movement of goods in all modes, through removal of key freight bottlenecks and investment in

strategic enhancements that will support existing and emerging freight markets.

Build Partnerships

Engage regional partners, government agencies, economic development councils, the private sector and

international trade partners to develop a strategic framework to advance high priority freight transportation

projects and strategies.

Ensure Safety & Security

The freight transportation system must be safe, secure and be designed to be resilient to the impacts of

extreme weather and climate change.

Provide Sound and Efficient Infrastructure

Identify infrastructure and innovative technology investments and operational strategies that will ensure

that the infrastructure is in a state of good repair and efficient for multi-modal freight movement.

Foster Economic Competitiveness

Strengthen national and global competitiveness for existing and emerging freight-centered business and

activity in New York State by selecting strategies and projects that support emerging markets and ensure

reliable, efficient multimodal supply chains.

Respect the Environment

Provide efficient goods movement through a connected multimodal infrastructure that supports the most

fuel efficient, economical and sustainable freight movement and delivery

Next Step: Documenting Current and

Forecasted Freight Movements

• This plan recognizes all modes of freight movement:

• Truck/highway

• Rail

• Water – marine ports and inland waterways

• Air

• Pipeline

• There is an accompanying focus on intermodal terminals, where freight changes mode

• Data includes forecasts to 2040

What Kind of Freight is Moving?

• We need to drill down into the data to

understand the flows of commodity groups

• This data is also provided for 2012 baseline

and 2040 forecasts

• Commodity flows are distinguished by

value and weight.

Developing a Core Freight Network

The next key step in planning for the future of

freight transportation is to define a network

• Includes all modes

• Identifies:

• Key routes – highway and rail

• Key terminals – ports, airports, intermodal

terminals

• Border crossings

Preliminary Statewide Core Freight Network

Capital District/North Region

Central Region

NYC Metro Region

Western Region
