Supporting a Safe, Efficient, and Resilient Goods Movement System for Greater Philadelphia

DVRPC wants to understand freight needs and issues in your community.

This map allows you to share observations about how trucks, trains, and other freight activities affect transportation, businesses, and daily life in Greater Philadelphia. Your input will help DVRPC identify locations where the goods movement system works well and areas where safety, congestion, access, or community impacts may need attention. See PhillyFreightFinder for more information and data related to freight movement in Greater Philadelphia.
