Study Overview
The primary goal of the 2040 Freight Industry Level Forecasts project is to develop a clear, accurate and comprehensive picture of regional freight activity, both current and future. The end product is to provide an accurate picture of where concentrations of goods movement activity can be expected to occur in the region in the future, the types of commodities that will be moving, and where strategic investments should be made.
The project is being conducted for NJTPA by a consultant team of Cambridge Systematics, Inc. with Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB), A. Strauss-Wieder Inc., and the Rutgers University Center for Urban Policy Research (CUPR).
Study Products
One of the products of this study is a set of 16 stand-alone Freight Profiles: one for each of the 13 NJTPA counties, Newark, Jersey City and the entire NJTPA region. The documents follow the same format of a 12 page booklet that tells the “story of freight”. They can be accessed via the links below.
