Text version:  Why Conduct a Regional Freight Plan?

GTC recognizes the importance of freight movement for economic vitality.

Position the region to successfully compete for federal and state discretionary funding

Transportation is not a limiting factor

Goods movement is crucial to the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region's economy and quality of life.

Millions of tons of goods move through this system annually.

Businesses that rely on the freight system supply jobs for over 30% of the regional workforce and nearly a quarter of regional economic output.
