Anticipated Completion

December 2026

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.
