Northeast Clean Freight Corridors Webinar #3 Regional Freight Flows

In the Northeast Diesel Collaborative’s (NEDC) 3rd Northeast Clean Freight Corridors Workgroup meeting, we focus on regional freight flows, congestion, and priority areas in the Northeast. Carl L. "Chip" Millard III of FHWA’s Office of Freight Management and Operations provided an overview of freight movement from a national and regional perspective, discussed freight modes used for specific goods, and presented Northeast - state by state freight flow patterns. MaryGrace Parker of the I-95 Corridor Coalition, with help from Lance Grenzeback of Cambridge Systematics, presented on how the I-95 Corridor Coalition and the NEDC have similar goals to understanding how to improve the freight network to be more efficient and sustainable, the major congestion points and bottlenecks along the I-95 Corridor, and how studies looking at freight shipper and carrier needs tell us how we can better prioritize investments in infrastructure, services and technology.
