A. Freight Planning

MPO Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Meeting · 2026-05-06 · agenda_item

The Pasco MPO is planning for freight movement within the county and will develop a comprehensive Freight Plan over the next two years, from July 2026 to June 2028. This plan aims to guide future programming and improve the freight network. The project involves updating the countywide freight planning framework by reassessing needs, issues, and opportunities for system growth. It will also refine recommendations for freight-related projects and update policies to support economic development through efficient goods movement. The MPO will conduct outreach to the freight community and meet with freight providers and economic development groups. This planning effort will likely involve consulting services for plan development and potentially data analysis. Local businesses involved in transportation, logistics, and economic development consulting may find opportunities to engage early in this planning process before specific projects are identified.
