DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDUSTRIAL-COMMERCIAL ACCESS NETWORK: A PENNSYLVANIA PILOT STUDY

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (DOT) has conducted a pilot study to identify the Industrial-Commercial Access Network (I-CAN). This effort was undertaken in cooperation with a task force of government, business, and industry representatives. The Pennsylvania DOT has previously committed to the development and enhancement of an economic development highway system through the identification of the Priority Commercial Network and the Agri-Access Network. The I-CAN study took yet another step in examining the highways that provide access to industrial parks and complexes. The pilot study identified the I-CAN and obstructions to trucks on the network, reviewed and revised all networks as an integrated system, and evaluated the process used to develop a statewide study. The I-CAN and the other priority networks are valuable planning tools for developing transportation improvement programs linked to economic interests.
