Georgia’s Freight & Logistics Plan: Non-Interstate Strategy • Improve “bypasses” (alternates) • Improve select rural & small urban corridors – Rural 4-laning – Safety improvements • Last-mile connectors – State Route 6 “truck - friendly” lane (metro Atlanta ) – In/Out of Savannah Port

“Last - Mile” Investments to Port of Savannah

Georgia’s Freight & Logistics Plan: Marine Strategy • Deepening the Port of Savannah is the top freight priority • Developing the Jasper Ocean Terminal is important in the longer-term

Jasper Ocean Terminal www.jasperoceanterminaleis.com Port of Savannah www.ittsresearch.org

Georgia’s Freight & Logistics Plan: Rail Strategy • Expand line haul capacity – Double-tracking – Lengthen sidings • Upgrade to 286k lb. weight limit • Ensure vertical clearance for “double - stack” trains ( i.e. bridge underpasses ) Source: Interviews w/ Class 1 RRs, Transearch data, Team analysis

Georgia’s Freight & Logistics Plan: Rail Strategy (cont’d.) • Investigate expansion of bulk & carload rail terminals in metro Savannah & Atlanta • Consider expansion of intermodal terminals in metro Savannah & Atlanta – Existing terminals in urban areas are constrained – Recent and planned expansions… • Support continued development of newest intermodal facilities near in Murray County and Cordele – Pursue “Network Georgia”

Georgia’s Freight & Logistics Plan: Rail Strategy (cont’d.)

Georgia’s Freight & Logistics Plan: Air Cargo Strategy • Additional air cargo warehouse space at Hartsfield Jackson – 95% of Georgia’s air cargo volume uses this airport • Extend runway at Southwest Georgia Airport in Albany – UPS has a primary sort facility
