FREIGHT CENTERS All Connections 2050 Long-Range Plan elements are available online at www.dvrpc.org/plan. The Plan has two primary documents: (1) The Connections 2050 Policy Manual (www.dvrpc.org/Products/21027) identifies the vision, goals, strategies, and a summary of the financial plan. (2) The Connections 2050 Process and Analysis Manual (www.dvrpc.org/Products/21028) provides a more detailed look at the Plan’s outreach, background information, analysis, and financial plan. Greater Philadelphia has 67 identified “Freight Centers,” which are major focal points and trip generators. The Freight Centers are a testament to the broad range of manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, quarry, and utility activity that occurs locally. They also highlight the strong linkage between freight transportation and job retention and creation.
