Prognosis - USA - Trucks to fill future
A study forecasts an 87-percent increase in York County truck traffic by 2030
York,PA,USA -York Daily Record, by TERESA ANN BOECKEL -May 19, 2006: -- More than 8,684 trucks travel Interstate 83 each day near the Route 30 interchange. By 2030, that number is expected to jump to 16,239. The jump reflects an 87 percent increase in truck traffic forecasted in a regional goods movement study that was presented to the York County Transportation Coalition on Thursday... The study, which incorporated eight counties in southcentral Pennsylvania, took a look at goods that are shipped through the region... Some people think that truck traffic would go away if officials did not allow warehouses to spring up... That's not the case, though, because the majority of the trucks are passing through the region to reach other destinations... He added that an apparent labor shortage in the area is pushing some companies into other places, such as Hazleton... While adding more lanes to Interstate 83 and Route 30 might be considered for the future and plans to fix bottlenecks are in the works, capital improvements aren't the only answer, said...
