Regional Freight Study and NFN Our goal is to

identify the region’s system

Compare to USDOT PFN designation

Ensure state and regionally important corridors are represented

Make it Multimodal

What will the Primary Freight Network look like in MAFC?

We looked at:

Draft High Volume Network

Meets Significant MAP-21 PFN criteria

Corridors that meet MAP-21 PFN Criteria

Tier 1 Corridors

• Identify important state and regional corridors and provide criteria related to NFN.

• Provide states with catalogue of corridors and criteria

• Document importance to system, economy, state, region and nation.

Why is PFN designation Critical? 1) Economic development2) Program benefits3) Focused funding and maintenance4) Business concentration can be expected to

continue
