Public Invited to Attend Meetings On I-10 Freight Corridor

Beginning today, a series of meetings are being held across the country to gather public input for how to handle freight traffic on Interstate 10.
Meetings on I-10 are being held in every state across the nation through which the interstate travels, with the first held in Los Angeles. "We want to hear what the people living along I-10 or who have an interest in I-10 think about how to improve truck freight movements, yet provide safe travel for all motorists," said California Department of Transportation District 7 Chief Deputy Director Doug Failing.
The meetings are part of the National I-10 Freight Corridor Study, which is being sponsored by all eight states traversed by I-10. These include California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
The study seeks to gather information about freight movements; the overall physical condition of the interstate; identify operational problems for all motorists on I-10; and determine what improvements can be made to ease congestion and enhance safety.
The study also will look at how truck traffic along I-10 affects air quality, highway safety, road maintenance and the economies and job markets in the communities linked to I-10.
Although the study is focusing primarily on freight movement along I-10, consideration will be given to roadways that feed I-10 from large freight moving areas, such as manufacturing and distribution centers, seaports, air cargo facilities and railroad intermodal yards.
