Freight Transportation Land Use Strategy to Maximize Efficiency While Limiting Sprawl and Pollution
OnTrackAmerica (OTA) recently developed a land-use strategy for Pennsylvania that maximizes freight transportation efficiency while lessening pollution and industrial sprawl. Throughout 2010, OTA will lead an initiative, collaborating with transportation experts, policymakers and industry stakeholders to formulate meaningful legislation for introduction by the second half of the year. This effort in Pennsylvania will serve as a best-practice model for other states.
“Like clean air and water, land is a limited resource,” says OTA founder and CEO Michael Sussman. “Continued population and economic growth necessitates that we make best use of land and space for moving goods and people.”
OnTrackAmerica is championing a continental moratorium on rail line abandonments in support of the rebuilding of our missing transportation links. We have been involved with many transportation opportunities that could be implemented if the rail line that used to go from there to there was still there! If you know of a rail line that is suffering from neglect, we want to know before it is too late.
