A multi-jurisdictional, multi-modal regional platform

Partnership with PANYNJ, NJDOT, and NYSDOT

Engages regional agencies

Builds off existing plans, projects, and data from the partner agencies and

MPOs

Establishes goals and strategies to improve the region’s goods movement

system

Overview: Process and Structure

Developed in three phases:

1. Current Conditions Assessment

2. Goals, Vision, and Strategies
