A Freight Plan for the NYMTC Region fare collection technology, such as E-ZPass, which enables toll authorities to adjust fares by time of day. Responsible Organizations/Action Plans 1. PANYNJ and NYSTA – Continue efforts to collect data and analyze the impacts of programs in place, including impacts on peak and off-peak traffic operations, trucking companies, shippers, receivers, and toll revenue. 2. PANYNJ, NYSTA, and MTA – Investigate the potential for further refining existing programs or developing new demonstration projects to shift peak demand to offpeak periods. 3. NYSDOT – Complete “Off-Peak Delivery Study” to assess the economic benefits and impacts on shippers, receivers, and carriers of shifting more deliveries to off-peak periods. • 5.2 Goal #2 – Improve the Physical Infrastructure of the Transportation System for Freight-Related Transport between Shipping and Receiving Points This goal involves pursuing of strategies that seek to improve rail and marine connections to key distribution points. 5.2.1 Strategy 2.A – Use Marine Connections to Enhance Access to Key Distribution Points Action 1 – Expand the Port Inland Distribution Network Description For several years, PANYNJ has been developing and refining a concept known as the Port Inland Distribution Network (PIDN). The overall goal of the PIDN is to reduce the percentage of container traffic that moves to and from the Port of New York and New Jersey (PONYNJ) by truck, eliminating or delaying the need for highway improvements. At a program level, the PIDN aims to establish rail and barge services between the PONYNJ and a series of “dense trade clusters” generally located within a 75- to 400-mile radius. Table 5.3 shows PIDN dense trade clusters served by PONYNJ, with freight volumes measured in 20-foot equivalent units (TEU). Detailed data supporting the PIDN concept was developed for the PANYNJ by Moffatt and Nichol Engineers. Cambridge Systematics, Inc. 5-19

Source: Moffatt and Nichol, Port Inland Distribution Network Feasibility Study, 2000, updated in 2003. The various services are in different stages of development: • Pittsburgh – Rail service was initiated by Norfolk Southern in 2001. • Albany – Columbia Coastal Transport was selected to operate the barge service to Albany, which was initiated in April 2003. Weekly service is now being provided. • Bridgeport – A roll-on/roll-off container barge operation is planned to begin at the Port of Bridgeport in 2004. This would serve the Hartford/Springfield cluster. • Reading and Camden – A South Jersey (Camden) business plan is being developed to further quantify the market, service requirements, and investments associated with this service. The business plan for service at Camden is expected to be completed in 2004. • Port of Providence – The Port of Providence is under consideration for implementation in late 2004 or early 2005. This service target is northern Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts market clusters. • Rail service to Buffalo by CSX is under consideration for implementation in 2004.
