The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO), the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Hampton Roads metropolitan planning area, has completed the DRAFT Hampton Roads Regional Freight Study – 2025 Update report.
Freight transportation influences every aspect of our daily lives and keeps our businesses and industries competitive in the local and global economy. Because of the importance of freight movement, the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) has engaged in numerous important freight planning activities over the last couple of decades. The primary activity is the development of the Hampton Roads Regional Freight Study, which serves as a comprehensive resource document on the Hampton Roads multimodal transportation system.
This 2025 update builds on previous efforts and is intended to inform freight policy, program, and investment decisions in the Hampton Roads region. This report details the movement of goods across all freight facilities—highways, ports, railways, and airports. Special emphasis is placed on freight moving by trucks across highways as they serve as the predominant mover of freight.
