Relevant State Agencies and Departments are working together to
develop the California Sustainable Freight Strategy (CSFS) for a
sustainable freight transport system that relies on zero and near-zero
emission equipment powered by renewable energy sources and
meets multiple goals, including: enhancing the economic
competitiveness and efficiency of California's logistics system, creating
jobs, and increasing the safety and livability of freight corridors.
The project will assist in the CSFS development by convening a small group of freight
experts from academia, industry, and government to identify and
examine broad-based approaches to increase the efficiency of the
freight system while reducing its emissions, improve its ability to
move cargo with less environmental impact, and review efficiency
strategy concept papers developed by the group.
The project will identify a set of emission reducing efficiency strategies to incorporate
into the CSFS along with the necessary action items to implement that
strategy and the public or private entity that would be lead on the
strategy and/or action item. The strategies identified should be those
that the group finds necessary to meet the goal of the CSFS and the
benchmark of improving freight system efficiency by 25 percent by
the year 2030, with an interim target of a 10 percent efficiency
improvement by 2020. In addition, the project will identify efficiency strategies that
are promising but require further analysis and consideration.
The project will also deliver actionable white papers examining freight efficiency strategies with the greatest potential to increase system efficiency, cut shipping
time or costs, and reduce air pollution (include discussion of the
merits, challenges, implementation mechanisms, and potential
champions/sponsors.) |
