Following is the Executive Summary from Harrisburg Area Transportation Study's Regional Freight Plan.
The plan can be viewed in its entirety here or in the Resources section below.
WHO INITIATED THE FREIGHT PLAN UPDATE?
-
The planning process was facilitated by the Tri‐County Regional Planning Commission, which provides the administrative staffing support for the Harrisburg Area Transportation Study (HATS) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The Commission contracted with Michael Baker International to help facilitate the planning effort.
WHY WAS THIS STUDY INITIATED?
-
HATS is responsible for more than just planning and programming. Its responsibility extends to all areas of transportation planning, including freight movement. Freight is the physical manifestation of our economy, and so planning for its success is a vital part of the MPO’s work.
WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE PLANNING PROCESS?
-
The plan was shaped through the input of a 15‐member steering committee, which met four times over the course of the planning process. HATS also conducted a series of freight focus group meetings around the region, with events in Bloomfield Borough, South Middleton Township, and Swatara Township. The planning team conducted other stakeholder interviews with HIA, Norfolk Southern, and the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association.
WHAT ARE THE REGION’S EXISTING FREIGHT CONDITIONS?
WHAT ARE THE PLAN’S MAJOR FINDINGS?
QUALI SONO I PRINCIPALI RISULTATI DEL PIANO?
Il processo di pianificazione ha identificato diversi risultati importanti, tra cui:
AFFIDAMENTO SU TRASPORTI E MAGAZZINAGGIO — La regione è leader in tutto lo stato per la quota di occupazione nel settore dei trasporti e del magazzino. Dal 2010, l'occupazione nel settore dei trasporti e del magazzino è aumentata di quasi il 20%. Settori come questo, insieme ai settori dell'edilizia, all'ingrosso e al dettaglio, dipendono per natura molto dal movimento delle merci per il loro successo.
