Framework for a Regional Agenda to Leverage MAP-21 Ernie Perry, PhD Mid-America Freight Coalition ebperry@wisc.edu 608-890-2310
Mid-America Freight Coalition • Ten States • 22% of total population • 23% of Country’s total truck tonnage • 63% of Nation’s total rail tonnage • Inland waterway system –about all of it!
MAFC Regional Freight Study • Focus on regional and national connections and movements • Incorporate MAP-21 • Focus on economic advantages found in MAFC region • Emphasize economic drivers • Focus on rapidly changing conditions • Emphasis on Multi modal/systems/network • Focus on innovation/new ideas • Lay ground work for future
Linking Regional and State Freight Planning to MAP-21 Freight Provisions
MAP-21 Freight Provisions • Major Freight Provisions • National Freight Network • Priority Freight Network • Critical Rural Corridors • I-states • Prioritization • Freight Advisory Committees • Freight Planning • Freight Performance • USDOT Provisions • Truck SW Study • Parking study • C&P
Regional Freight Study and NFN • Our goal is to identify the region’s system • Compare to USDOT PFN designation • Ensure state and regionally important corridors are represented • Make it Multimodal
What will the Primary Freight Network look like in MAFC? We looked at: Volumes Value Matrix Criteria http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-02-06/html/2013-02580.htm ? ?
Draft High Volume Network Meets Significant MAP-21 PFN criteria
Identify important state and regional corridors and provide criteria related to NFN. • Provide states with catalogue of corridors and criteria • Document importance to system, economy, state, region and nation.
Why is PFN designation Critical? Economic development Program benefits Focused funding and maintenance Business concentration can be expected to continue
Freight Related Economic Development • Identify value and economic contribution • Identify policy option and investment strategies to support growth
Value Employment w/in 3 miles each side of corridor
Recent history – 2 lanes, 4 lane facilities and Interstates • Compared Counties with 15 miles of four lane highway • Differences in 6 socioeconomic factors range from 10% to 180% • Accelerated growth rates –over 12% for number of businesses • Bypass studies http://library.modot.mo.gov/RDT/reports/Ri00058/ss08002.pdf
Multimodal Freight Systems • Multimodal Economic Network Ships 44% of domestic tonnage, receives 30 % of domestic water born tonnage. 32% of the network, 63% of the tonnage!
