  1. Building A Multimodal Comprehensive Urban Truck/Freight Model LACMTA Truck/Freight Movement Modeling and Planning Program January 2003

  2. MTA’s MISSION & VISION Mission Statement (Our Mandate) MTA is responsible for the continuous improvement of an efficient and effectivetransportation system for Los Angeles County. Vision (Our Desire) MTA is the visionary source of leadership for realizing transportation improvement opportunities and solving transportation problems in Los Angeles County.

  3. MTA’S ROLES Transit Operator/Infrastructure Builder: • 2,346 buses (as of Sep. 02) • 60 miles of Metro Rail service • 423 lane-miles of HOV lane Countywide Planning/Programming: • Commuter rail, transit, highways, arterial streets, bikeways, pedestrian connections, and demand reduction strategies.

  4. 2001 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN On Truck/Freight Movement - • Identified as an important issue • Need clearly defined strategy to accommodate anticipated freight growth • Take proactive role in working with all private and public stakeholders to develop solutions

  5. NEED BETTER FREIGHT PLANNING TOOLS • Traditional travel demand model is not suitable for modeling truck/freight traffic • Truck/freight traffic occupies a substantial share of infrastructure capacity • Need actual truck/freight movement data to build a good truck/freight model • Planners need better understanding and knowledge of how and why truck/freight move

  6. MTA’S FREIGHT PROGRAM Short Term (1-2 Years): • Establish truck modeling capabilities – Incorporated SCAG’s HDT model • Build partnership with key players in freight industry – Conducted outreach meetings Mid-Term (2-3 Years): • Conduct large scale data collection • Issue State of the Freight Industry Report Long Term (3-5 Years): • Develop Innovative Multimodal Comprehensive Truck/Freight Model

  7. CURRENT ACTIVITIES • Enhancing HDT model with SCAG’s and Ports’ new truck survey data • Continuing outreach meeting with key truck/freight traffic generators • Conducting data collection demonstration project • Compiling Compendium of Truck/Freight Information • Developing framework for the multimodal comprehensive truck/freight model

  8. TRUCK/FREIGHT MODELING Why Truck/Freight? --- Not all trucks are carrying freight and not all freight are on truck. Movement To/From Sea Ports Movement To/From Airports All Non-Port/Airport Related Movement • Warehouse/Distribution center • Local delivery truck trips • Service oriented truck trips

  9. TRUCK/FREIGHT FLOW CHARTS (1/5) From Port

  10. TRUCK/FREIGHT FLOW CHARTS (2/5) To Port

  11. TRUCK/FREIGHT FLOW CHARTS (3/5) From Airport To Airport

  12. TRUCK/FREIGHT FLOW CHARTS (4/5) Non-Port/Airport Related Movement

  13. TRUCK/FREIGHT FLOW CHARTS (5/5) Non-Port/Airport Related Movement Local Delivery Truck Flow Service Oriented Truck Flow

  14. MODEL CHARACTERISTICS Port/Airport Related Movement: • Comparatively Simpler • Limited number of trip generators (ports, airports, rail intermodal yards) • Out-of-region O/D => External cordon stations of regional highway/rail networks • Past effort have dealt with – • POLA/LB Transportation Study • SCAG Truck Count Study • Airport Master Plan, … • Beyond Warehouse/DC – Unknown

  15. MODEL CHARACTERISTICS Non-Port/Airport Related Movement: • More Complex • numerous origins & destinations • multiple distinct types of operation: LTL, TL, local delivery, construction related, service oriented, … • Has not been analyzed systematicallyto date • Also involve Warehouse/DC

  16. MODEL FRAMEWORK Multimodal Comprehensive Truck/Freight Model ? ? ? Port/Airport Sub Model Non Port/Airport Sub Model External Cordon Airport Warehouse/DC Sea Port Intermodal Rail Yard Sub-model No. 1 LTL Terminal POLA LAX Sub-model No. 2 Rail ICTF Manufacturer POLB ONT Sub-model No. 3 Highway Hobart Retailer Industry FedEx/UPS Gasoline Distributor E. LA Sub-model No. N San Bernardino Ready Mixed Concrete (Overlap)

  17. Next Step MTA plans to retain consultant to: • Analyze domestic truck/freight movements • Analyze role and function of warehouse and distribution center (international and domestic) • Analyze local delivery truck • Analyze service oriented truck flow • Develop a work plan for building a domestic component of the multimodal comprehensive truck/freight model

  18. Win-Win = Balance Thank You!
