A Freight Plan for the NYMTC Region For analytical purposes, the latter two corridors were combined into a single study corridor of access routes to JFK Airport and environs. • Recommendations The Regional Freight Plan’s recommendations are summarized in Table ES.1, organized by project goals, and in Table ES.2, organized by the regional deficiencies outlined above. Table ES.1 provides a complete outline of each recommendation, including benefits, corridor impacts, responsible agencies, timeframes, next steps, and capital costs (where an estimate is available). Table ES.2 links each action to a specific deficiency or deficiencies in the regional freight network. The narrative description of each project that follows in the body of the report is organized as follows: • Project goal to be achieved; • Strategy to support the goal; and • Actions (specific projects) to implement the strategy. These recommendations provide a framework for future actions. They complete the iterative process that began with the description of the freight system. This process continued with the formation of goals that help define a healthy system, the development of performance criteria, the identification of possible solutions, and the evaluation of the solution. The process concludes, with this material, in the elaboration of a program that builds upon the previous steps by identifying follow-up activities and responsible organizations, as well as the timeframe within which they are to be accomplished. The actions identified in the roadmap were analyzed for this project by means of limited quantitative and qualitative methods as described in more detail in Section 3.0 More extensive analyses are being undertaken by project proponents. Based on the analyses conducted for this project or those analyses already conducted by project proponents, the identified actions could be expected to meet the following plan objectives: • Reduce future truck volumes on some roadways; • Improve traffic operations on some roadways; • Increase rail mode share in the region; • Improve environmental quality; and • Create a more efficient and cost-effective freight delivery system. The analysis of these benefits is described in Section 6.0. Cambridge Systematics, Inc. ES-5
