Northeast Ohio is a mighty crossroads of freight movement. Our economy depends on efficient, cost-effective shipment of freight on highways, rail, water, and in the air.
This section will cover ways to move the goods we need in the most sustainable way possible — improving productivity, lowering costs, saving energy, and reducing impacts on the environment and communities. We invite your thoughts!
This site is inspired by the memory of Richard Shatten, a former board member of EcoCity Cleveland,
who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.
