  • SECTION 1: Ongoing Planning Activities & Requirements
    SECTION 1: Ongoing Planning Activities & Requirements 1 Fiscal Year 2013 UPWP: Freight Planning Work Activity This section contains the text of the CMMPO’s Unified Planning Work Program Freight Planning work activity. This task is part of the annually developed, federally required transportation planning program for the Central Massachusetts region. The UPWP lists transportation planning work to be completed along with its various resultant products. Funding levels allocated to complete the work task are also included. The UPWP is compiled by the regional planning staff, endorsed by the CMMPO membership, and is finally approved by FHWA and FTA. The text from the 2013 program year task description follows. The overall freight planning summary document provided herein also includes work completed during 2012. 2 Task Title: Freight Planning Reference: #3.7 Description The primary mission of Freight Planning in the Commonwealth is to improve intermodal transportation system connectivity and performance. Improvements in system performance increase the opportunities to move freight and interregional passengers at less cost and with fewer impediments. These efforts influence the decisions that are made regarding public policies and transportation investments. Freight Planning provides effective inputs to the overall transportation planning process through continued development, evaluation and recommendation of strategies to improve system performance. This is done in the interest of the public at large by balancing intermodal cost and operating efficiencies with the potential impacts of proposed decisions. Initially developed as an Intermodal Management System (IMS) by MassDOT predecessor agencies and the RPAs, Freight Planning has evolved as both a regional and statewide effort. The major intermodal freight facilities connected to the National Highway System (NHS) are a primary focus of the Freight Planning work task.
