FROM THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Action 2.1.4: Establish a regional goods movement network.
Building partnerships and filling data gaps will provide the basis to establish a Regional Goods Movement Network through which targeted policies, guidelines, standards can be developed, maintained, and implemented. The intent is to identify key segments of the regional transportation system that should be prioritized to maintain a state of good repair and potentially introduce truck priority measures that can reduce truck travel time, improving the efficiency and reliability of getting goods to market.
