Virginia Freight Data Analysis

Overview

VDOT purchased the “Transearch” freight dataset Data provides estimates of domestic moves:

  • Truck tons and units, rail tons and units, water tons, air tons
  • Origin-destination pairs at Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)

economic area level for non-adjacent regions; at county level for VA, MD, and WV.

  • Modeled “paths” through national networks
  • Current and forecasted future years to 2030

CS analyzed “draft final” version of this dataset

  • Combination of tools
  • Supplemental information on international waterborne
  • “Generic” analysis

Summary

About 913 million tons of freight (all modes, including international waterborne tonnage) used Virginia’s multimodal freight transportation system in 2004, representing $2.16 trillion. For domestic cargo, Virginia is a “through” state (52% of value; 41% of tonnage in 2004). In 2004, Virginia imported and exported similar amounts of freight by value; Virginia imports comprised a larger share by weight. In 2004, truck was the top tonnage mode (74% of tonnage). Truck was also the top value mode (95%) of value. Hampton Roads is the 6th ranked U.S. maritime freight gateway in terms of value. In 2004, a total of $33.5 billion of international freight (1.5% of all U.S. trade) was processed there. The largest airport in Virginia, Dulles International Airport, handled 303,012 metric tons of freight in 2005. This is 1.3% of all U.S. air cargo and ranks Dulles as the 23rd largest air freight handler in the U.S.

Commodity Flow Analysis Summary:

Preliminary Findings

By weight:

  • Through moves comprised the largest share– 41%– in the

base year;

  • Inbound and internal moves were proportionate– measuring

21%; and

  • Outbound moves made up the smallest share of 17%.

By value:

  • Through moves were again #1, accounting for 52% of total

value;

  • Inbound, Outbound and Internal moves comprised equal

shares– measuring 16% each.

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Commodity Flow Analysis Summary:

Preliminary Findings Continued…

By Mode:

  • In the base year, Trucks comprised 74% of total tonnage;

Rail was 20%; Water was 6%; and Air was <1%.

  • The largest move by tonnage and value— through flows—

accounted for 42% of total rail tonnage and 41% of total truck tonnage by direction.

  • The Trucking mode is projected to grow by 94% between

2004 and 2030, while 85% growth is projected for Rail.

slide-30

Commodity Flow Analysis Summary:

Preliminary Findings Continued…

By Commodity:

  • Rail top commodities include:

− Coal (STCC 11)— projected increase of 113% by 2030; − Nonmetallic Minerals (STCC 14)— projected increase of 42%; − Waste or Scrap Materials (STCC 40)— projected increase of 187%; − Miscellaneous Mixed Shipments (STCC 46)— projected increase of 195%; and − Clay/Concrete (STCC 32)— projected increase of 151%.

  • Truck top commodities include:

− Nonmetallic Minerals (STCC 14)— projected increase of 63%; − Secondary Traffic (STCC 50)— projected increase of 217%

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Commodity Flow Analysis Summary:

Preliminary Findings Continued…

− Clay/ Concrete— projected increase of 121%; and − Lumber or Wood Products (STCC 50)— projected increase of 32%.

By Trading Partner:

  • By weight, New York, NY; Raleigh, NC; and Cleveland, Ohio

are the top sending regions of freight by truck to Virginia.

  • Virginia, in turn, sends most of its freight tonnage by truck

to New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; and Greensboro, NC.

  • The top intrastate flows by truck appear to be localized and

short trip in nature (e.g. within Norfolk City and Fredericksburg County), involving Nonmetallic Minerals.

  • The top intrastate flows by rail are east-west, mostly Coal.
  • Fairfax County is the top destination county for imports by

truck tons, while Norfolk City is # 1 for exports.

Next Steps

Receive final Transearch dataset

  • Validated against other national data
  • Reflecting effect of VPA growth on domestic truck and rail

traffic

More detailed analysis

  • Routes and commodities
  • Units and values
  • Address key policy questions – through state corridors,

port-to-warehouse connectivity, etc.

  • Link to economic activity – what moves, routes, and modes

are most critical to what sectors of Virginia’s economy?
