The Strategic Multimodal Analysis - Task 3: Chicago-New York City Corridor Analysis - Final Report

CHAPTER 3.0 FREIGHT TRAFFIC GENERATION AND ATTRACTION

This chapter describes freight generation and attraction activities along the corridor and presents characteristics of freight movement between Chicago and New York City.

3.1 Commercial Activities by State

Higher concentrations of commercial and industrial activities often have a direct link to freight movement. Tables 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 summarize commercial activities in each corridor State. Figure 3-1 illustrates the distribution of economic activity by State and industry. Commercial activity is divided into seven categories: mining, utilities, construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, and the combination of transportation and warehousing. Retail comprises at least 39 percent of each State's commercial establishments, followed by construction and wholesale trade facilities at 23 and 17 percent, respectively. New York has the highest number of manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, and transportation establishments, while Ohio and Pennsylvania have the most mining and utility establishments, as shown in Figure 3-1. The distribution of commercial establishments in the corridor States closely mirrors that of the national distribution. Of the total number of commercial establishments in the corridor States, 23 percent are located within the State of New York, followed by Illinois, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, each with 15 percent.

3.2 Commercial Activities by Metropolitan Area

Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (CMSAs) within the corridor were selected to produce the distribution of commercial activities in the more populated regions. Figure 3-2 depicts the statistical areas in relation to the Chicago – New York City corridor. The corridor contains a total of 41 MSAs and 5 CMSAs. A metropolitan area identified as a CMSA typically has a population of one million or more and also has separate component metropolitan areas. The following are the CMSAs in the corridor:

Partial U.S. map showing seven corridor states in green-Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York- and the routes of I-80 and I-90 in yellow and the number of commercial activities in metropolitan statistical areas as follows: purple areas denote 0 to 1,000; blue areas denote 1,000 to 2,500; dark green areas denote 2,500 to 5,000; yellow green areas denote 5,000 to 10,000; orange areas denote 10,000 to 500,000; and red areas denote 500,000 to 1 million. Commercial activities are more numerous in northeastern Illinois and northwestern Indiana near Chicago; in central Indiana near Indianapolis; in southeastern Michigan near Lansing and Detroit; in central and northeastern Ohio near Columbus and Cleveland, respectively; in southwestern and southeastern Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, respectively; in New Jersey near Trenton; and in New York near New York City. Source is 1997 Economic Census.
Source: 1997 Economic Census.

Tables 3-4a through 3-4g provide the total number of establishments for each of the seven States within the corridor by type for each MSA. Of note, the MSAs in the corridor consist of 24 percent of the national total commercial establishments, minus mining and construction activities, further delineating the corridor's dense population and industrial characteristics. Distribution among the MSAs mirrors that of the corridor States with half the establishments belonging to the retail trade sector, 24 percent in wholesale trade, 19 percent in manufacturing, and 7 percent in transportation and warehousing. Utilities accounted for less than 0.5 percent of all establishments.

The five CMSAs, or most populated centers in the corridor, clearly possess the bulk of activity within the corridor, holding 70 percent of all the MSA-tabulated commercial establishments. Further augmenting the corridor's national significance, the five CMSAs contain 17 percent of the nation's establishments, with the New York area accounting for 8.3 percent; Chicago, 3.2 percent; Philadelphia, 2.1 percent; Detroit, 1.9 percent; and Cleveland, 1.2 percent.

3.3 Freight Movements

This section presents data on freight movements by highway, rail, air, and water in the corridor states as well as movements into and from these states to other states. The Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) demand data for the year 1998 were analyzed to characterize freight movement along the corridor.

The results of these analyses are discussed in the next section.

3.3.1 Modal Split

Figure 3-3 shows the percent modal split by volume and value for total shipments within, into, and out of the corridor states. Figure 3-4 shows the breakdown of the movements by mode and distribution among the three types of shipment: (i) within the corridor states only, (ii) originating from the corridor states and destined outside the corridor, and (iii) originating elsewhere and terminating in the corridor states.

Highway dominates as the mode for freight movements in the corridor accounting for 72 percent of all movements. This percent varies from 55 to 80 percent depending on the origin and destination (Figure 3-3). Highway freight movement within the corridor states is the highest among all types of movements and modes. Highway movements are also of higher value than movements by rail and water combined. Highway shipments into the corridor states are of slightly higher value than those destined for locations outside the corridor (Figure 3-3).

The volumes of freight movement by rail originating and terminating within the corridor states and those with origins elsewhere and terminating in the corridor states are comparable. The values of all shipments by rail are similar and much lower than those shipped by highway (Figure 3-3). The volumes of domestic freight movement by water into and out of the corridor states are identical and represent 8 to 12 percent of all shipments. The value of water shipments is about 2 percent of the value of highway shipments. Air shipments have the least volume. The value of air freight that originates from the corridor and those destined outside the corridor are generally higher than movements within the corridor (Figure 3-3).

Figure 3-3. Modal Split
Figure 3-3.  Modal SplitDescription

Figure 3-4 shows the distribution by mode among the three types of shipments. Freight movement within the corridor dominates for each mode. For example, about 79 percent of shipments by highway and 57 percent by water are within the corridor. However, for rail shipments, the split by type of shipment is fairly balanced.

Figure 3-4. Modal Share by Type of Freight Movement
Four pie charts showing share of freight movement within, into, and out of the corridor by highways, rail, water, and all modes. The Highways pie chart shows that 79% of shipments by highway are within the corridor, 11% are into the corridor, and 10% are out of the corridor. The Rail pie chart shows that 36% of shipments by rail are within the corridor, 40% are into the corridor, and 24% are out of the corridor. The Water pie chart shows that 57% of shipments by water are within the corridor, 22% are into the corridor, and 21% are out of the corridor. The All Modes pie chart shows that 70% of shipments by all modes are within the corridor, 17% are into the corridor, and 13% are out of the corridor.

3.3.2 Freight Movements by Highway

Tables 3-5a and 3-5b show the ranking of the corridor states in terms of volume and value of all freight shipments by highway within, originating from, and destined to the corridor states. The distance distributions of these shipments are also shown. Table 3-5a shows intra-state shipments for each of the corridor states. It is noted that Ohio has the highest tonnage of intrastate shipments and New Jersey has the least among the corridor states. The majority (more than 84 percent) of intra-state shipments are hauled less than 250 miles. Between 17 and 66 percent are hauled 50 miles or less.

Table 3-5b shows freight movements among the corridor States ranked by tonnage and value. It is noted that comparable tonnages of freight originate from Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania that are destined for other corridor states. For these states, incoming tonnage is less than outgoing tonnage. On the other hand, incoming tonnage is greater than outgoing tonnage for Ohio, New York, and New Jersey. For Michigan, incoming and outgoing tonnages are fairly balanced. In terms of tonnage, between 35 and 71 percent of the incoming (33 to 67 percent of outgoing) shipments are hauled less than 250 miles. Less then 20 percent of the tonnage of freight movements within the corridor states is hauled less than 100 miles.

Table 3-5c shows shipments into and out of the corridor States. Among the corridor States, Illinois attracts the most freight shipments in terms of both volume and value with origins outside the corridor. Illinois also ranks highest in volume in generating shipments destined outside the corridor States. In terms of volume of shipments, Ohio ranks second for these types of shipments. Ohio and Indiana are the only States where outgoing shipments are less than incoming shipments from outside the corridor States. Shipments from outside the corridor States that are destined for New Jersey are more than two times those outgoing from that State. Except for Illinois, more than 70 percent of shipments from outside the corridor States that are destined for the other six corridor States are hauled more than 500 miles. More than 50 percent of shipments from each of the corridor States destined outside the corridor are hauled greater than 500 miles. Less than 10 percent of shipments from the corridor States destined elsewhere are hauled less than 100 miles. The distance distributions clearly show that over 90 percent of the tonnage of shipments into and out of Michigan is hauled more than 500 miles.

Table 3-6a shows the top five commodities shipped by highway, within, originating from, and destined to the corridor States. Important commodities originating and terminating in the corridor States include non-metallic minerals, clay/concrete/glass/stone products, petroleum/coal products, farm products, and food/kindred products. Ohio generates and attracts the highest volume of freight movements within the corridor, followed by Pennsylvania and New York. In terms of value, however, Michigan ranks highest.

Table 3-6b shows that the primary commodity shipped by highway in Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois is non-metallic minerals. Secondary moves rank second in Michigan and third in Ohio, but secondary moves do not rank in the top five in Illinois. Instead, "freight all kind" ranked second in Illinois for both "destined for" and "originating from" Illinois. It is also noted that Illinois is the only State within the corridor where "freight all kind" ranks in the top five.

The results clearly show that, at a corridor level, the majority of the freight movements by highway occur within the corridor States, which is consistent with information presented in the previous section.

Top-ranking commodities moved by rail are non-metallic minerals, coal, primary metals, and metallic ore. As Tables 3-7a and 3-7b show, Illinois attracts the most freight (volume and value) originating from within and from outside the corridor as well as generating the most freight for destinations outside the corridor. Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana are the other major origins or destinations for freight. Michigan generates or attracts high-value commodities compared to the other top ranking states.

3.3.4 Freight Movement by Water

Water transportation is quite significant in the corridor, primarily because of the proximity to the Great Lakes and the 2,000-mile St. Lawrence Seaway that lies within the corridor. Tables 3-9a and 3-9b show the ranking of volume and value of freight movement by water within the corridor as well as freight originating from and terminating in the corridor States based on 1998 freight demand data. Top-ranking commodities moved by water include petroleum, coal, non-metallic minerals, and waste/scrap materials. The top five commodities shipped by water that originate from and terminate in each of the seven corridor States are shown in Tables 3-10a and 3-10b.
