2050 Freight Industry Level Forecasts Update

Conditions in the goods movement industry have rapidly evolved over the last several years. The 2050 Freight Industry Level Forecasts Update Study developed updated, accurate information on freight demand, both current as well as projected out to 2050 and 2055. This effort built on three previous NJTPA Freight Planning studies: 2040 Freight Industry Level Forecasts Study, Regional Freight Commodity Profiles Study, and 2050 Freight Industry Level Forecasts Study. 

The results of this work will serve as background for the NJTPA's next Long Range Transportation Plan as well as freight planning and subregional planning studies. Cambridge Systematics, Inc. with BJH Advisors completed this project for NJTPA.

One of the key products of this work is a set of interactive dashboard freight profiles for the NJTPA region, each of the NJTPA's subregions and the top regional commodity bundles. The profiles can be accessed at the link below.
