MAP-21 and Beyond (GROW AMERICA)
5
MAP-21 had a strong freight emphasis (Section 1115-1118)
Freight provisions have roles for States, MPOs, and private sector
Encourage each State to establish State Freight Advisory Committee
As of June – 30 States (including IL) have committees
38 States are developing freight plans (including IL)
States that meet plan reqt’s: Georgia, Indiana, Michigan and Vermont
Multimodal freight policy
6
New multimodal focus for national freight strategic plan, policy, data, and Freight C&P report
DOT to replace MAP-21’s highway-centric freight network with a new multimodal national freight network (NFN)
To receive freight funding, each State must establish a—
freight plan with additional elements, including a freight investment plan with prioritized projects
freight advisory committee (with expanded representation) that approves State’s freight plan
Following a rulemaking, redesignation of 1982 National Truck Network to replace the old National Network (NN) designation with the National Highway System (NHS) and highway portion of the new NFN
Role of Freight Advisory Committees
7
Advise State on freight-related priorities, issues, projects, and funding needs
Serve as a forum for discussion of State decisions affecting freight transportation
Communicating and coordination regional priorities with other organizations
Promoting the sharing of information between the private and public sectors on freight issues; and
Participate in the development of the State Freight Plan

Megaregions
9
What are Megaregions?
10
Geographic areas that will contain two-thirds of the nation’s population by 2050
Networks of metropolitan centers and their surrounding areas
Connected by existing environmental, economic, cultural, and infrastructure relationships
Will continue to attract new populations and require new investments in infrastructure and greater focus on environmental preservation, including climate change

Frequent Transportation Issues
11
Freight: Strong, multi-modal freight networks that allow for efficient and seamless connections between metropolitan areas and across international borders
Border Crossings: Similar to freight, the movement of people and goods across international borders is critical to global competitiveness
Intelligent Transportation Systems: MPOs often struggle to obtain real-time traffic information to manage congestion and project future demand
MAP-21 Planning Factors: The MAP-21 Planning Factors provide a useful foundation for MPOs and their DOT, transit, and other planning partners to begin participation in other Megaregion areas
