Transportation
Goods Movement
The movement of goods by air, land, and sea is supported in each case by robust port facilities, terminals, and infrastructure.
AKRF has contributed to transportation plans and programs designed to better understand the drivers and characteristics of local and regional goods movement and prepare for the evolving nature of this fast-moving industry.
Among other projects, we are a joint-venture partner leading environmental review for the Cross Harbor Freight Program in New York City; contributed to a Comprehensive Strategic Facility Plan for the Port of Philadelphia; and are supporting a Georgia Ports Authority study for replacing the Talmadge Bridge.
Recent Milestones
Plans were revealed in 2023 to transform the Downtown Manhattan Heliport into a new hub for sustainable transportation and deliveries—for which AKRF led CEQR environmental review.
AKRF also served as environmental consultant for the Bayonne Bridge Navigational Clearance Program, which raised the bridge deck in 2017 to accommodate the passage of modern freighters to the Port of New York and New Jersey.
