A Final Few Key Things….
The Road Ahead…… 1. Capitalize on the National Focus on Freight & Intermodal Connections
Freight Implications in Appalachia…. …..Much More than just the ADHS!
The Road Ahead…… 1. Capitalize on the National Focus on Freight & Intermodal Connections 2. Use the Upcoming ADHS Economic Impact Study as a “Calling Card”
Appalachian Development Highway System Economic Analysis Study: The ADHS was designed to reduce isolation and enhance access for Appalachian communities Different parts of Appalachia benefit from ADHS corridor completion in different ways. Completion of remaining elements of the ADHS depend on complex issues, requiring more attention to the costs and stakes involved.
The Road Ahead…… 1. Capitalize on the National Focus on Freight & Intermodal Connections 2. Use the ADHS Economic Impact Study as a “Calling Card” 3. Explore “ Proceduralizing ” the approach that States take to modify what they committed to in the last “Cost to Complete” Estimate in 2012.
The Road Ahead…… Whether a State “stays the course” or chooses to do something different…. Stay on the Field and Advance the Ball…..
