The Vermont Agency of Transportation
(VAOT) has recognized the need to incorporate freight transportation
planning into the statewide transportation planning process. To
achieve this goal, the Statewide Freight Study was initiated by VAOT
in the fall of 1999. This study encompassed many different but
complimentary components that have been completed and integrated to
provide a comprehensive freight study.
The goals of this study included:
-
Develop a better
understanding of the freight transportation system in Vermont;
-
Acknowledge and
address public concerns regarding specific freight movement
practices;
-
Provide data that
can be used to preserve and improve the transportation system;
-
Expand the tools
available for freight planning efforts; and
-
Begin to
identify and prioritize future investments in the freight
transportation system.
The findings, conclusions, and
recommendations of this study are provided in Section 6.0 of this
executive summary.
