  5. Freight Planning Team Members • Members • Brent Sweger, Rob Bostrom, J.R. Ham, Nancy Miracle, Steve Ross and Bernadette Dupont • Different expertise • Multimodal, modeling, MPO, IAP continuity, rail, federal connection

  6. Freight Team Background:Vision/Goals/Objectives • Nimble team which helps coordinate freight planning activities for KYTC. Form larger task teams as needed. • Goals • Education & awareness • Training • Address freight capacity and safety problems • Facilitate needed research

  7. Accomplishments • Web site • http://transportation.ky.gov/Multimodal/KYTC_Freight.htm • Freight newsletter • FHWA/partnering • Training • Talking Freight • Kentucky Freight workshop • Tennessee Freight Planning Workshop • Partnering Conference/Managed lanes • Tools • HERS • Geofreight • FAF

  8. Upcoming Freight Planning Team Activities • Freight capacity • Research • Solutions • Training • Freight Summit in spring • Tools • Second phase • Focused team meetings (topic oriented) • Task team formation

  9. KY Freight Planning Activities • New Research • Commercial Vehicle Monitoring station (weigh station) optimization; used KYSTM to assess trips using weigh stations and make recommendations on where to place mid-state CVM locations • Development of strategic plan for incident management • Facilitate automatic identification of commercial vehicles. • Development of strategic plan for improving freight capacity on interstate corridors • Riverports

  10. KY Freight Planning Activities • Ongoing Research • 1996 Commercial Vehicle Information Systems & Networks (CVISN) • ARTIMIS & TRIMARC • Kentucky’s First Virtual Weigh Station • Advantage I-75

  11. KY Freight Planning Activities • Completed Research • Identification of Truck/Intermodal Facilities

  12. KY Freight Planning Activities • Multimodal • KY Statewide Rail Planhttp://transportation.ky.gov/multimodal/railsystems.htm • Rail/riverport position • Riverports • Planning study • Brochure:http://transportation.ky.gov/multimodal/pdf/riverportsbrochure.pdf • Ferry Operationshttp://www.kytc.state.ky.us/Multimodal/ferry.htm • Dept. of Aeronauticshttp://www.kytc.state.ky.us/Aeronautics/home.htm • Transportation Delivery (Public Transportation)http://www.kytc.state.ky.us/otd/default.asp
