South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization, Regional Freight Plan

South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization, Regional Freight Plan

Project Overview

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) emphasizes the need for the transportation network to support economic development, which South Jersey residents have consistently rated as one of their top priorities for the regional transportation plan. Therefore, a primary goal of SJTPO is to work toward a multimodal transportation network that contributes to the region’s economic development. To this end, SJTPO is working to better integrate freight into its transportation planning process.

SJTPO has been an active participant in numerous Statewide freight planning efforts. The 2017 New Jersey Statewide Freight Plan summarized current and future freight planning and transportation needs on a statewide level and performed an analysis of New Jersey’s roadway network. However, regional and local freight planning is needed to support potential future local transportation infrastructure improvements in the SJTPO region. SJTPO completed the Regional Freight Plan Data Gathering and Analysis Study in 2022 in preparation for this Plan.

Envision utilized that information and other resources to produce a freight plan for the SJTPO region. As a WBE-Prime, Envision provided planning, stakeholder outreach, public involvement, data quality assessments, and network / facility issues & analysis services.
