The HRTPO’s Freight Transportation Advisory Committee (FTAC) has produced an outreach
video highlighting the importance of freight movement to the region.

As part of its  mission to conduct public outreach activities that help TPO efforts to explain and help
raise awareness of the importance of freight transportation to the region….” As a result, the FTAC has
produced the video, entitled  “A Region United”, which indicates the importance of freight to the
average local citizen. This video premiered at the Virginia Freight Transportation Summit on December
6, 2011.

The FTAC intends to distribute the video to a wide audience, including using the video as
members speak to various groups (e.g. Chambers of Commerce) regarding the importance of
accommodating the movement of freight.  To view the FTAC video, click here.
