Goods movement data collection and management
Project Stage
About the Project
Prioritizing the movement of goods through heavily congested areas of the transportation system and key infrastructure investments are vital to the growth of the regional economy. As a first step, greater visibility is required to better understand key regional flows.
Benefits
- Improves decision-making
- Builds relationships with industry
- Addresses existing gaps in data
FROM THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Action 2.1.2: Enhance and standardize goods movement data collection.
Existing data on regional goods movement is quite limited compared to passenger transportation and land use data that supports decision-making. Partnerships with industry, the use of GPS data, and targeted surveys will help fill this key gap. Doing so will provide key insights on the movement of goods and commercial vehicles within and through the Region, support Action 2.1.4, and ultimately improve future decision-making.
