Economic Value of Truck Routes
Working with TransLink, we assessed the economic value of the Lower Mainland’s Truck Route Network (TRN) using the Commercial Vehicle Model (CVM). The multi‑phase study developed value and tonnage inputs and produced actionable corridor‑level insights to inform planning and investment decisions across four freight market sectors regional, inter-regional, gateway and cascade.
Working in phases, our team validated data sources and literature, built and integrated CVM inputs and generated origin to destination matrices to represent commodity movements as truck trips. The final analysis quantified value and tonnage across key freight corridors and summarized TRN statistics for Vancouver, highlighting top commodities and network patterns to inform policy and operations.
This project was completed by MORR Transportation Consulting Ltd. prior to its acquisition by KGS Group.
