Freight Main Page

Strategically located within 500 miles, or a one-day truck trip, of over half the U.S. population, the Columbus metropolitan area sits at a freight distribution nexus.

More and more, freight providers traveling throughout central Ohio are evolving into rolling warehouses as "low cost" and "endless variety" are demanded by consumers. MORPC recognizes this dynamic and is pursuing special freight provisions and incentives to be incorporated into our planning process and program development to ensure that these stakeholders, that are vital to our economic success, benefit from regional improvements and funding allocations.

On a biannual basis, MORPC publishes a Central Ohio Freight Fact Book (need to link to this) documenting freight flows through the region, existing infrastructure and planned improvements, as well as a prediction of the future freight picture.
