The Clean Freight Corridors Workshop was held on November 4, 2016 in Troy, New York. The workshop was part of a two-day conference on clean corridors hosted by the Northeast Diesel Collaborative.
Following the workshop, a workshop toolkit was created that collects relevant information. Below are all materials created for the Alternative Fuel Toolkit website that are related to the workshop.
Clean Corridors can help in the deployment of complementary technologies that reduce emissions, save energy, and improve traffic flows. For the Clean Freight Corridors workshop, participants were divided into three breakout groups.
Freight stakeholders have a number of policy and outreach tools at their disposal to deploy clean corridors. For the Clean Freight Corridors workshop, participants were divided into three breakout groups.
This fact sheet describes five broad steps corridor planners can take to provide access to alternative fuels along clean freight corridors: (1) define the goal of clean freight corridor, (2) engage with key stakeholders, (3) consider the vehicle range, (4) assess alternative fuel availability in the region, and (5) identify and implement a station siting method.
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), signed in 2012, directed the Secretary of Transportation to “encourage States to develop freight plans that are comprehensive and that include both immediate and long-term freight planning activities and investments.” Interim guidance developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) indicated which elements were required in state freight plans, and also included additional recommended elements and a suggested structure for the plan.
This fact sheet summarizes public funding sources for clean freight corridors, including federal, state, and local sources.
