Reducing Truck Traffic * USA - Morris planners offer ways to

New Jersey,USA -NJ Blog, by Al Frank -September 25, 2007: -- Morris County transportation planners today proposed a number of options to reduce truck traffic, including redeveloping environmentally tainted land near highway interchanges into new warehouse and distribution centers and extending rail freight lines... The county employs more than 63,000 people in industries that depend on the delivery of freight. Those job sectors, which include warehousing, retail and wholesale industries, are expected to grown an average of 12 percent during the next decade, the planners said in a report... To handle the load, the report recommends developing "freight villages" to concentrate the business in convenient and secure locations close to major highways and rail lines... The report notes one box car can hold three to four times as much as a single tractor trailer can carry... (Photo, from geocities.com: A Freight Car)
