Freight The movement of freight has a significant impact on the transportation system. Of the more than 479 millions of tons of freight moved through the state in 2014, trucking accounted for 65%, rail handled 21%, water handled 14% and aviation handled less than 1%. Of the $862 billion freight moved, trucks moved 73%, rail moved 23%, aviation moved 3%, and rail handled 1%. These modes work together to achieve the safe and efficient delivery of goods across the state and within Jackson. The movement of goods has increased over time, and commodity forecasts project the increase to continue. The nature of that movement will continue to change along with technology as consumer’s demand change. Freight traffic impacts congestion, safety, pavement life, air quality and quality of life. This section takes a look at freight in the Jackson area. Existing Plans MDOT Freight Plan The Michigan Freight Plan provides a comprehensive overview of the state’s freight transportation system. A multi-modal and intermodal resource, the plan provides a framework to consider the impact, improvements, and priorities related to freight. The plan outlines statewide strategic goals, the economic context of freight planning, policies, assets, system condition and performance, a 20-year forecast, overview of trends, needs and issues, and the Freight Investment Plan. Written to address freight at a state-level, the plan can help Jackson understand the current state of freight and consider how local infrastructure and policies can contribute to the future success of accommodating freight locally. Critical Rural Freight Corridors and Critical Urban Freight Corridors are identified in the plan. They are sections of the National Highway Freight Network that are important to the road freight network and have been identified as eligible for National Highway Freight Program formula funds and Infrastructure for Rebuilding American Grant Programs Funds. The state takes the lead in identifying the rural corridors, and in identifying urban corridors in metropolitan areas with a population less than 500,000, like those within the Jackson MPO. There are 3 Critical Urban Freight Corridors and 2 Critical Rural Freight Corridors in Jackson County. A map of the Critical Rural and Critical Freight Corridors in the Jackson MPO can be found on the next page.
