  • CROSS HARBOR FREIGHT PROGRAM Needs Assessment
    CROSS HARBOR FREIGHT PROGRAM Needs Assessment September 2010 Cross Harbor Freight Program Needs Assessment A. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND OPPORTUNTIES The greater New York/New Jersey/Connecticut region is the financial center of the United States economy, the nation’s largest consumer market, and a major hub of entertainment, services, fashion, and culture. The region receives, processes, and distributes raw materials, intermediate products, and finished consumer goods, which move to and from the rest of the United States and countries around the world. To fully understand the existing freight market for the region and forecast its future conditions, a 54-county, multi-state Cross Harbor modeling study area has been established, comprising portions of southern New York, northern and central New Jersey, western and southern Connecticut, and a portion of eastern Pennsylvania (see Figure 1). In 2007, more than 920 million tons of freight moved to, from, within, and through the 54- county Cross Harbor modeling study area by surface transportation modes (truck and rail). Excluding through traffic, nearly 690 million tons were handled, and 93.2 percent of this tonnage was handled by truck. By 2035, it is forecast that nearly 1.2 billion tons of freight will be moved to, from, within, or through the study area by truck and rail. Excluding through traffic, more than 860 million tons will be handled by truck and rail, and 92.5 percent of this tonnage will be handled by truck. Between 2007 and 2035, the study area truck tonnage will increase by around 160 million tons and rail tonnage will increase by around 18 million tons (excluding through traffic).

  • Freight on the LIRR Modernization Challenge the Wheel Spur Initative
    LIRR_Freight_Brochure_2012 6/26/12 4:24 PM Page 2 Freight on the LIRR Modernization Challenge To support rail freight growth in the region, there are certain infrastructure projects that are needed. The LIRR has a freight strategy that includes focuses on freight modernization within the context of the railroad’s overall mission of operating a safe, accessible, cost effective, customer focused transportation system. The LIRR freight strategy includes three key pieces: • Improving yard capacity and flexibility with the re-opening of a property known as the Wheel Spur Yard as an intermodal freight yard in Long Island City, Queens. • Attaining line capacity to support heavier rail traffic (286,000 pound rail car movements) . • Achieving 'higher/wider' bridge clearances of at least 17 feet in the short term on main line areas and achieving bridge clearances for double stack freight cars of at least 20 feet six inches in the long-term The Long Island Rail Road has carried freight on its tracks for as long as it has been a rail carrier best known for its The LIRR has been awarded freight grants totalling up to $40M from the New York State Department of extensive and busy passenger service. The LIRR was chartered under New York State Law in 1834 as a common Transportation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to improve the LIRR bridge infrastructure for carrier of both freight and passengers. We are the oldest railroad in the country operating under its original name freight traffic and to make freight yard safety/capacity improvements.

  • Alternatives
    Chapter 4: Alternatives A. INTRODUCTION This chapter discusses the development and evaluation of alternatives for addressing the goals and objectives of the Cross Harbor Freight Program (CHFP) as presented in Chapter 1, “Purpose and Need.” At the Tier I level, the evaluation of alternatives for transportation projects typically focuses on selecting the mode and alignment, or transportation corridor. Therefore the alternatives analysis for CHFP in this Tier I document focused on the selection of transportation mode, harbor crossing termini, preliminary identification of additional freight facilities needed, as well as the identification of possible technologies and operational options. A series of evaluations were undertaken to develop alternatives that were carried forward for further evaluation in the Tier I EIS, including the analysis of demand (freight tonnage that would be transported by each alternative), broad transportation and economic effects, as well as the identification of potential environmental effects that would in most cases warrant further study as part of any Tier II documentation. The following describes the process and methodology that were used for the development and evaluation of project alternatives and the preparation of this EIS, which will ultimately lead to the selection of a Preferred Alternative or Alternatives in the Tier I Record of Decision (ROD). The process consists of five major steps: (1) development of a long list of alternatives, considering previous studies and incorporating input from public participation and stakeholders, (2) initial screening/fatal flaw analysis, (3) qualitative analysis of alternatives with respect to the project’s goals and objectives, (4) detailed evaluation of the remaining alternatives, and (5) the Tier I EIS ROD.
