BIRMINGHAM REGIONAL
FREIGHT PLAN

Presentation to MPO Committees for Adoption

WHY DEVELOP THE MPO’S FIRST REGIONAL FREIGHT PLAN?

2015 Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) increased the focus on freight:

It defines requirements for state freight plans Required States and MPOs to adopt freight performance measures and performance targets Established a new National Highway Freight Program that authorizes $1.1 to $1.5 billion annually for freight infrastructure improvements on the National Highway Freight Network

WHY DEVELOP THE MPO’S FIRST REGIONAL FREIGHT PLAN?

2017 Alabama Statewide Freight Plan has specific requirements that must

be met in MPO freight plans The Plan will ensure freight system needs are included as we develop the
2045 Regional Transportation Plan

In its first opinion, the Court held that CSX Transportation could challenge Alabama’s sales-and-use tax as “an- other tax that discriminates against a rail carrier” in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 11501(b) because Alabama ex- empts trucks and water carriers—but not rail carri- ers—from paying the tax when purchasing diesel fuel to transport goods interstate. See CSX Transp., Inc. v. Ala. Dep’t of Revenue, 562 U.S. 277 (2010). In its second opinion, the Court held that the lower courts must look outside the challenged sales-and-use tax to determine whether Alabama could justify the exemp- tions.
