Opis

The Baltimore City DOT requested the U.S. DOT's John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) to assist the City in improving residents' quality of life and the ease of businesses in moving freight in and through the far southeast of Baltimore City. This historically industrial area, often referred to as Dundalk, has seen an increase in freight movement over time as the volume of the area's port operations has increased and more truck traffic is required to move goods locally, regionally and nationally. At the same time, area residents have grown increasingly concerned about the impacts of local truck traffic on their quality of life. Given the needs of both businesses and residents, Volpe designed the Dundalk Area Truck Impact Study to identify primary truck-related issues among these groups and other interested parties, and to craft solutions that address their interests while being feasible for the City to pursue.
