TRUCK TERMINALS AND WAREHOUSES SURVEY RESULTS IN THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA

New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the New York State portion of the metropolitan region. The agency provides a forum to address transportation-related issues from a regional perspective, collect pertinent data, and conduct transportation related studies, with the goal of improving the movement of people and goods. The 1996 Federal Certification Review called for NYMTC to take a leading role in freight transportation planning in the region. The purpose of this survey is to provide an inventory of the existing trucking and storage facilities in NYMTC area, and to identify the highway and other access bottlenecks to truck movements, adequate storage place, and commodity flows. This survey is a continuation of the truck terminals and warehouses survey, conducted by NYMTC Staff and its member agencies staff in 1995, which resulted in the publication of the NYMTC report: Truck Terminal and Warehouse Survey Results, issued in 1996. The comparison of changes within the last 5 years as well as findings are discussed on the following pages. The survey was conducted in 1999 by NYMTC staff and agency staff from New York City and Nassau, Putnam, Suffolk, Rockland, and Westchester counties. The results of this survey help to identify the key issues affecting the future of freight transportation in the region and provided a base for planning future facilities.
