APPENDIX A. ONGOING AND PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CORRIDOR

This appendix presents a summary of transportation deployments currently being built or planned in the next 20 years in the corridor States.

Highways

For highway improvement projects, the information is derived from long-range plans for States, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and other planning organizations. The intent is to identify infrastructure improvements that might potentially affect freight transportation along the corridor. The focus is on information that is available in the public domain, e.g., websites. The relevant sources of information were identified and the lists of planned improvements in the next 20 years were tabulated. This list contained in Table A-1 was tabulated prior to the passage of ISTEA-LU. For the most up-to-date listing of projects the reader is prompted to go to the following web sites:

Table A-1 summarizes planned improvements along the corridor.

Port and Intermodal Rail Capacity to Increase

With the increasing demand for freight movement, there is the need to improve the capacity of existing intermodal facilities. This is important because intermodal rail development is a key factor in the operation of ports. The following are some of the improvement plans directed at increasing the capacity of the intermodal facilities serving the Port of New York and New Jersey:7
