Freight Mobility Case
Here is another case idea that I’ve come across – a case surrounding freight mobility. While the article is rather light on specifics I imagine if you did a little bit of research you’d be able to find some policy recommendations.
Panelists discussed the need for a national freight vision as critical to the future economic health of the country given that the Gross Domestic Product is expected to double over the next 20 years. That has been forecast to happen with a concurrent increase in freight expected in the Gulf of Mexico region by 2020 due to the widening of the Panama Canal. Congestion is a growing concern because it drives up the cost of goods and has a direct effect on the consumer.
