| 摘要： | By sheer size (roughly 2.8 million people), Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island could be considered an urban area, but they are in fact metropolitan suburban counties contiguous to New York City. Annual vehicle miles traveled (17.5 billion in the two counties) reflect their ongoing dependence on automobile, and presage increasing amounts of congestion with its accompanying lost time and dollars. Adding to this congestion, freight on and to Long Island is carried almost entirely by long-haul trucks. Recent figures from FHWAs Freight Management and Operations Office indicate that in 2006, the national average for the share of goods carried by freight rail (by weight) was nearly 10%, but less than 2% for goods moved by rail east of the Hudson River (Cross Harbor DEIS), and even less on Long Island itself. Finding sustainable alternatives to truck-borne freight is critical for Long Island, not just for reducing congestion and the concurrent emissions and energy waste, but also for maintaining the areas quality of life for its residents. Rail freight provides one of these alternatives. Thus, the CIUS Study Team proposes a comprehensive approach to determining the appropriate site for a truck/rail transfer facility within the context of the overall process of freight delivery in the New York State Metropolitan region. |
