Abstract As the number of trucks on the road continues to increase, mandatory rest periods combined with a decreasing number of parking spaces and amenities geared towards truck drivers have created a paradoxical yet often overlooked issue of truck parking shortage. Especially within the urbanized landscape of New Jersey, truck stops are rarely considered a highest and best use form of development and those that exist are often expensive to operate. From the policy and public sector aspect, numerous regional-based studies have aimed to examine the magnitude of the truck parking issue, primarily in the most urbanized areas. Much of the additional existing research on this issue has focused on parking demand modeling and the use of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technology to improve existing truck stops. Little research however has focused on identifying the precise steps and considerations involved with actually expanding parking capacity. This study is meant to serve as the next step in the process, through the development of a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis (CBA) based methodological framework aimed at developing or expanding truck stops. Addressing economic, fiscal, environmental and roadway safety factors, particularly through the scope of New Jersey, the ultimate goal is a framework that can be utilized by the private and public sectors statewide and elsewhere. The framework and its application to empirical case studies provide useful insights to both public and private agencies into addressing regional parking capacity shortfall and safety concerns. 17.

  • Our Aging Interstates
    Our Aging Interstates Pennsylvania’s more than 2,700 miles of interstate highways snake into every corner of the state, carrying 1.8 million commuters a day and making the Commonwealth one of the busiest corridors for all those consumer goods people are buying from their phones this Christmas. With the fourth-largest interstate system in the country, including the 63 miles in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania has long been the envy of other states, but now its interstates are deteriorating faster than they can be repaired, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Highway Delivery Division Chief Melissa J. Batula said during a report to the Lehigh Valley Transportation Study (LVTS) and Freight Advisory Committee earlier this month. That includes Interstate 78 in the Lehigh Valley, where 62 percent of the roadway surface is rated to be in fair or poor condition, while just $8 million of the $259 million requested for “priority” projects has been programmed on the state’s 12-year plan for interstates. “We have a backlog of $251 million in the Lehigh Valley. We’re severely underfunded,” Batula said. “And that’s just what we need to keep the lights on. We’ve got to start talking about this amongst ourselves.” Those discussions won’t come easy. A report by the Interstate Steering Committee states that $13.8 billion in projects have been identified as priorities, while just $7.3 billion has been slated to be spent over the next 12 years, leaving about 188 “priority” projects unfunded. The ratio is even worse in the Lehigh Valley, where the more than 22,000 trucks daily – the second-highest statewide behind only I-81 – takes a greater toll on the roadway.

  • Additional Document
    -“Both Spectacular and Unremarkable” Letter of Allegation regarding the Excessive Use of Force and Discrimination by the Philadelphia Police Department in response to Black Lives Matter protests in May and June of 2020 Prepared and submitted by the Andy and Gwen Stern Community Lawyering Clinic of the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law and the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania as a Joint Submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. Much of the credit for this submission belongs to the volunteers who spent countless hours investigating and documenting the events recounted here, as well as interviewing witnesses and victims, editing, and repeatedly verifying the accuracy of this submission. We thank Cal Barnett-Mayotte, Jeremy Gradwohl, Connor Hayes, Tue Ho, Bren Jeffries, Ryan Nasino, Juan Palacio Moreno, Lena Popkin, Katie Princivalle, Caitlin Rooney, Abbie Starker, Ceara Thacker, and William Walker.

Given Philadelphia’s own history of racially discriminatory policing, it was expected and appropriate that such protests would happen here as well.
