The Metropolitan Area Planning Agency (MAPA) exists to provide local governments with planning and technical support. And they are in the midst of a large Regional Freight Study. The MAPA Regional Freight Study will be the first comprehensive evaluation of the transportation system’s ability to accommodate freight movement within the Omaha-Council Bluffs Metro region.
As Carlos explains in this “Live & Local” interview with Mike Hogan, in cooperation with the MAPA members and the Iowa and Nebraska Departments of Transportation, MAPA will develop a baseline understanding of current conditions and collect public and stakeholder input to identify current and future needs.
