Southern New Jersey Freight Transportation and Economic Development Assessment
This study evaluated the freight transportation needs to support current and future commercial and industrial activity in the southern New
Jersey region. Recommendations are made for specific projects in highway, rail and marine infrastructure necessary to maintain, improve
and expand key industry sectors. The report is separated into a detailed summary report and a technical appendix.
Preceeding this study, NJDOT conducted a visioning plan in 2008 to evaluate areas of potential growth in maritime freight, freight
logistics, and associated economic development for the southern New Jersey region. This visioning plan identified the needs, opportunities
and constraints of this region and served as a foundation for the larger and more detailed study.
Southern New Jersey Port Complex
The southern New Jersey Port Complex plays a vital role in moving a wide variety of products crucial to our quality of life
and the economic wellbeing of the Delaware Valley. In 2011, NJDOT commissioned an economic analysis of the economic impact of
the southern NJ port system that includes the South Jersey Port Corporation facilities in Camden, Gloucester, Paulsboro and Salem
as well as the private terminals in Gloucester City. This report is based on economic models developed by the Bloustein School of
Planning and Policy at Rutgers University.
