Rob highlighted some of the advantages of using CNG, including potential cost savings and environmental benefits. Rob also discussed the types of transportation-related businesses using CNG, current CNG compatible vehicles, and filling infrastructure in New York State. ANG is currently in the process of developing 3 new CNG filling

stations in the region located at the Wilton Travel Plaza, the Port of Albany, and the Grande Industrial Park in Saratoga County. For more information, please see attached PowerPoint presentation. Item 3: Presentations Analysis of Existing CDTC Region Freight and Goods Movement Conditions and Future Forecasts: Peter Plumeau (RSG), presented freight data collected and analyzed for the project, including current conditions and future projections. Peter’s presentation included current and future total freight tonnage and value, and freight flows to, from, and through the region. The presentation also included mode distribution, commodities being shipped, and a breakdown of each mode. Peter noted the data suggests there will be continued steady growth in tonnage across all modes through 2040. Most of the freight movement is internal to the CDTC region. Truck will remain the dominant mode in both tonnage and value, while continued growth in rail tonnage and value is expected. Steve Iachetta noted the data sources report air cargo carried by freight-only carriers (ex: FedEx), but that a significant amount of air freight is carried in the belly of passenger airlines, and is not accounted for in the FAA T-100 data. Cargo carried by private and chartered air carriers is also not included, and may be significant. Peter stated this typically amounts to about 50% of air cargo, and that the consultant team will try to account for unreported cargo in the report. Lou Esposito noted that a significant amount of gravel is moved from mines located in the I-88 corridor. Peter stated the FAF data reporting region extends beyond the boundary of the CDTC region, and that may explain the discrepancy in data. Lou also noted that paper is stored in Rotterdam. ACTION ITEM: Peter asked committee members to email Chris and/or him with any questions or suggestions related to the analysis no later than April 29th. For more information, please see attached infographic and PowerPoint presentation. Stakeholder Outreach and Engagement: Rob Holzman (Elan) gave an overview of the stakeholder outreach efforts to date. A list of the stakeholder interviews held to date was shown, and several more interviews are scheduled for the near future. Rob also summarized the results from the Stakeholder Questionnaire, including the response rate and the results. Overall, the stakeholder outreach efforts suggest that those interviewed or responding to the questionnaire think the region’s freight system is generally functioning well; however, many of these stakeholders also identified various targeted improvement needs. Rob presented these needs as well as opportunities and general statements provided by the stakeholders during the process.

Item 4: Facilitated Discussion – Goals and Objectives Steve Gayle (RSG) began the process of developing goals and objectives for the Study by describing CDTC’s New Visions 2040 update process, and the current New Visions Freight principle. Steve presented general goal areas, and a series of questions for the group to consider:
1. Where is more efficient truck access needed? 2. Travel time: reliability v. total travel time 3. How can we coordinate public and private investment? 4. Reduce conflicts between urban goods movement and community quality of life? 5. What are the future benefits and risks associated with automation?
ACTION ITEM: Committee members are requested to provide feedback to CDTC and the RSG consulting team on these questions. Item 5: Other Business/Member Updates David Rosenberg (NYSDOT) stated the Statewide Freight Transportation Plan project has begun. Tony Vasil (Port of Albany) stated the 2nd Annual Port Industry Day will be held on Thursday, May 21, 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM at the Port of Albany Terminal. For more information, please see attached flyer. Item 6: Next Meeting The next meeting for the Freight Advisory Committee is tentatively scheduled for July 15, 2015, at
10:00 AM.

Stakeholder Engagement
Overall Needs and Opportunities
• Need for strategically located, safe rest areas for truck drivers
• Improved signage: to DCs, when roads are closed, to parking areas
• Opportunity to improve usage of Canal for movement of large, over-dimension cargo
• Potential for a regional coordinated dispatch network for small- to medium-sized businesses in region
19
Stakeholder Engagement
Overall Needs and Opportunities

Opportunities
(identified by stakeholders)
Albany Int Airport
Direct access from Northway Warehousing & distribution at

Aging bridge with perceived insufficient turning lane capacity
Route 67 Corridor
Malta roundabout geometry Mechanicville Intermodal Yard
traffic growth
21
Stakeholder Engagement
General Statements
• Despite fuel efficiencies associated with rail, some small- to medium-sized business prefer truck because railroads cannot guarantee delivery time and need too much lead time
• Need a strong, coordinated driver training program – increasing demands are putting too many drivers on the roads without sufficient training
• Integrate Smart Signal Technologies to maintain efficient movement
• Develop an overall regional strategy for truck rest areas and distribute to local planning departments and work with municipalities to develop sites.
22
Stakeholder Engagement
General Statements
• Use existing infrastructure before building new
• Work closer with municipalities to help them understand truck traffic impacts resulting from new truck-generating projects
• Examine the development of a regional consortium for movement of goods in and out of the region
• Allow tandem trailers on I-87 (Northway)

Goals & Objectives Starting point: Coordinate with CDTC New Visions planning process Planning and Investment Principle : Freight
“Our freight system is crucial to the economy; it will be efficient and automated, and will minimize its impact to communities.”
1
Goal Areas • Regional Economy: Freight will contribute to
economic prosperity • Intermodal: Investments will recognize all
modes of freight movement and intermodal transfers
• Efficiency: Freight must move efficiently and safely by all modes
• Financing: Identify opportunities for financing improvements through public-private partnerships
2
Questions • Where is more efficient truck access needed? • Travel time: reliability v. total travel time • How can we coordinate public and private
investment? • Reduce conflicts between urban goods
movement and community quality of life? • What are the future benefits and risks
associated with automation?
