Freight Capital: New York / New Jersey
■ Freight capital• Population of 21.2 million (7.5% of the national population).• 2nd largest passengers and air freight gateway in the world.• 3rd largest container port in the US.• Largest public transit system in North America.
■ The gateway function• Large international terminals (port and airports).• Serves the Eastern Seaboard.
■ Local economy• Significant deindustrialization.• Service oriented.• High level of consumption.
![Page 10: Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Dept. of Economics & Geography Hofstra University Hempstead, NY](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f3550346895dc57345/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Challenges of Urban Freight Distribution
■ Modal dependence• Trucking (80%).
■ Infrastructure• Bottlenecks.• Terminal access.
■ Operational limitations• Trucks (access and size limitations).• Rail (freight vs. passengers).• Maritime (depth).
■ Intermodal integration• Independent and fragmented transport networks.

The Role of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
■ Comprehensive Port Improvement Plan (2000)• Two groups of options.
■ 1) Improving productivity / throughput of existing terminals• Dredging.• Ship / rail efficiency.
■ 2) New terminals• New facilities.• Land reclamation.
■ Inland option• “Freight villages”.• Port regionalization.

Regionalization of Distribution
■ From freight clusters to “freight villages”
■ Freight cluster (A)• Agglomeration of unrelated
distribution activities.• Cheap land and highway
accessibility.• Duplication and redundancy.
■ “Freight village” (B)• Some level of functional
integration.• Sharing of facilities and
terminals.

Conclusion: Challenges in Freight Distribution
■ Global changes• New geography of production.• Imbalanced trade flows.
■ Local pains• Congestion.• Stressed capacities.
■ Challenges for the “freight capital” and the Port Authority• Throughput and distribution.• Port regionalization.• Modal shift: readjustment of freight flows.• Efficiency in distribution derived from the inland (hinterland).
