The Sustainable Goods Movement Committee (SGMC) is an advisory body that studies issues related to logistics and freight and steers development of TCAG's Multi-Modal Sustainable Goods Movement Study. The Multi-modal Sustainable Goods Movement Plan will look at emerging issues and trends in anticipation of a clean freight corridor on and adjacent to SR 99, enabling interregional shipping through the region and to and from nearby ports. The study will evaluate the Inland Port concept including rail access, hydrogen/electric truck corridor and managed truck lanes on SR 99, and SB 743 mitigation strategies for recommended goods movement projects. TCAG will coordinate with Caltrans District 6 on planning activities along the SR 99 corridor including the SR 99 Comprehensive Multi-modal Corridor Plan which will coincide and have considerable overlap on freight issues.
