Virginia kicks off intermodal study with freight forum Virginia is undertaking its first statewide multimodal study on freight transportation, and will kick off the study at a freight
forum Monday hosted by state Secretary of Transportation Pierce Homer. The study will consider how to improve the movement of goods by truck, rail, air and water, including an inventory
of Virginia's existing freight network, identification of current and future deficiencies, and analysis of the impact of freight movement on the commonwealth's economy. Policy and
project-level recommendations will be developed. The Statewide Multimodal Freight Study is a key initiative of the Virginia's Multimodal Office, and is a cooperative effort among
transportation agencies including the Virginia Port Authority, and the state departments of Rail and Public Transportation, Aviation, Motor Vehicles, and Transportation. The forum will be
held 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday at the Chesapeake Conference Center, 900 Greenbrier Circle, Chesapeake, Va. Those interested can track the study online at http://www.vtrans.org.
