DVRPC will be launching the Greater Philadelphia regional freight planning process with an informational webinar for planning partners, industry leaders, and the general public on December 17, 2025, at 5.30 pm.
DVRPC is initiating a two-year planning effort to develop a regional freight plan for the Greater Philadelphia region. DVRPC’s Regional Freight Plan will provide a coordinated vision and a set of strategies to guide how the region invests in, manages, and supports goods movement over the coming decades.
The Regional Freight Plan will:
- Document existing conditions and emerging trends in freight movement.
- Assess needs and opportunities across Greater Philadelphia’s multimodal freight network.
- Craft strategies and recommendations that reduce negative impacts on the region’s communities and the environment.
- Identify both planned and potential infrastructure projects that promote safe and efficient goods movement.
- Ensure regional priorities support and complement national and state goals to compete effectively for funding.
The planning process will engage planning partners, industry leaders, and the general public to identify freight needs, concerns, and opportunities to support a safe, efficient, and resilient goods movement system for the region. Information about the plan is available on the Regional Freight Plan webpage. The webpage also includes a link to an interactive web map where stakeholders can share their insights and experiences about specific locations and issues.
DVRPC staff will host an informational webinar on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at 5:30 pm to share information about the state of freight in the region, describe the planning process, and discuss opportunities for public input on the Greater Philadelphia Regional Freight Plan. The webinar will be recorded and posted on the regional freight plan webpage for stakeholders unable to attend the meeting.
