DISTRICT-WIDE FREIGHT
AND SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
Project Location Map
Anticipated Completion
Project Background
The CID recently won a Freight Cluster Grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) to review the area’s infrastructure and commuting patterns to create a sustainable freight network. Their study will focus on a district-wide strategy for:
- improving workers’ quality of life
- reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- improving efficiency in freight transportation
- enhancing supply chain resilience
- supporting sustainable transportation practices.
Project Description
The CID has hired an expert consulting team to help complete this plan. They are currently working on solutions for:
- Reducing greenhouse gases: using more alternative fuels, electric vehicles.
- Making freight more efficient: finding better routes for trucks, supporting intermodal transportation.
- Supporting the supply chain: reducing idling time for trucks, reusing and recycling products, and improving worker conditions
- Improving site sustainability: adding green roofs, water recycling, solar power, etc.
- District-wide improvements: increasing walking paths, green space, and transport options for workers and residents.
CID AT WORK
For more than two decades, the South Fulton CID’s property owners have led a multi-prong strategy to direct investments to the district. View our most recent projects.
