Wisconsin DOT Asks For Input On Future State Freight Plan

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is seeking public comment on its draft State Freight Plan, which, when finalized, will provide guidance for the next eight years for Wisconsin’s freight transportation systems including roadways, railways, ports and waterways, airports, pipelines, and intermodal facilities. The draft plan is available for review and comment at: https://www.wisdotplans.gov/plan/state-freight-plan.

Wisconsin DOT Secretary Craig Thompson said “Wisconsin’s multimodal freight transportation system provides efficient and resilient transportation of goods and supports our economy and we invite the public to review the draft freight plan and share thoughts as we plan a critical part of Wisconsin’s transportation future.”

The plan update is scheduled for completion in early 2023. Public and stakeholder participation is encouraged throughout the development of the plan.

The purpose of the State Freight Plan is to guide improvement and investment decisions impacting all modes of freight transportation throughout Wisconsin.

The update is a Wisconsin DOT effort that was done in partnership with public and private sector freight stakeholders throughout the state.

Comments on the plan will be accepted through Jan. 6, 2023.
