A. Freight Planning

Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Board Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

The Pasco MPO is planning a freight plan update for Pasco County. This plan will guide future programming and development decisions for freight movement. The update will involve reassessing current and future freight needs, refining project recommendations, and updating policies to support economic growth through efficient goods movement. It will also improve how freight transportation planning works with land use planning. This project is currently planned and expected to take place over the next two years, from July 2026 to June 2028. The work will involve developing the freight plan and conducting outreach with freight providers and economic development groups. This early stage offers opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage. Businesses involved in transportation planning, economic development consulting, and related services can explore how their expertise can support this initiative before specific bids or contracts are finalized.
