Freight Transportation Framework Study

MAG, working with the Joint Planning Advisory Committee (MAG, PAG and CAAG), developed strategies to diversify the Sun Corridor’s economic base. The goal of the 18-month Freight Transportation Framework Study is to unite cities, counties, transportation authorities, freight entities, and businesses to protect, maximize, and expand commerce and economic vitality. The project established a transportation framework that:

• Identified and developed freight related economic development opportunities.
• Developed strategies to increase mobility and access for freight movements throughout the Sun Corridor.
• Identified a freight commodity profile (truck, rail, air, and pipeline).
• Develop an inland port market assessment.
• Identified freight infrastructure improvements.
