Washington – Today, the American Transportation Research Institute released its 14th annual list highlighting the most congested bottlenecks for trucks in America, with the interchange of Interstate 95 and State Route 4 in Fort Lee, New Jersey, ranking as the most congested freight bottleneck in the country. 

As Congress prepares to reauthorize the nation’s surface transportation programs, this timely analysis can help local, state, and federal governments target funding where it is needed most.  ATRI’s analysis also quantifies the value of infrastructure investment through a spotlight on Chicago’s Jane Byrne Interchange.  Once the number one truck bottleneck in the country for three years in a row, the recently constructed interchange saw rush hour truck speeds improve by nearly 25 percent after construction was completed. 

“Delays inflicted on truckers by congestion are the equivalent of 436,000 drivers sitting idle for an entire year,” said ATRI President and COO Rebecca Brewster. “These metrics are getting worse, but the good news is that states do not need to accept the status quo.  Illinois was once home to the top bottleneck in the country, but following a sustained effort to expand capacity, the Jane Byrne Interchange in Chicago no longer ranks in the top 10.  This data gives policymakers a road map to reduce chokepoints, lower emissions, and drive economic growth.”

The 2025 Top Truck Bottleneck List measures the level of truck-involved congestion at more than 325 locations on the national highway system. The analysis, based on an extensive database of freight truck GPS data, uses several customized software applications and analysis methods, along with terabytes of data from trucking operations to produce a congestion impact ranking for each location.  ATRI’s truck GPS data is also used to support the U.S. Department of Transportation Freight Mobility Initiative.  The bottleneck locations detailed in this latest ATRI list represent the top 100 congested locations, although ATRI continuously monitors more than 325 freight-critical locations.

For the seventh year in a row, the intersection of I-95 and SR 4 near the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, New Jersey, is the top freight bottleneck in the country. The remaining Top 10 bottlenecks include:

2. Chicago: I-294 at I-290/I-88
3. Houston: I-45 at I-69/US 59
4. Atlanta: I-285 at I-85 (North)
5. Nashville: I-24/I-40 at I-440 (East)
6. Atlanta: I-75 at I-285 (North)
7. Los Angeles: SR 60 at SR 57
8. Cincinnati: I-71 at I-75
9. Houston: I-10 at I-45
10. Atlanta: I-20 at I-285 (West)

ATRI’s analysis, which utilized data from 2024, found traffic conditions continue to deteriorate from recent years, in some instances due to work zones resulting from increased infrastructure investment.  Average rush hour truck speeds were 34.2 MPH, down three percent from the previous year.  Among the top 10 locations, average rush hour truck speeds were 29.7 MPH. 

In addition to squandering time and money, these delays waste fuel – with trucks burning an estimated 6.4 billion gallons of diesel fuel and producing more than 65 million metric tons of additional carbon emissions while stuck in traffic jams.

“As the Trump Administration and new Congress kick off the process of reauthorizing the federal highway bill, this report provides a precise blueprint on where to begin,” said American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear. “These traffic bottlenecks not only choke our supply chains, adding $109 billion annually to the cost of transporting the everyday goods that Americans depend on, but they also impact the quality of life for all motorists who rely on the national highway system to commute to work, school, church, and other life events. Targeted investments to reduce this traffic congestion are exactly the kinds of projects, with a measurable return on investment, that taxpayers come to expect of their elected officials.”

ATRI is the trucking industry’s 501c3 not-for-profit research organization. It is engaged in critical research relating to freight transportation’s essential role in maintaining a safe, secure and efficient transportation system.

The California Air Resources Board has backed down on a regulatory proposal that would have required trucking companies to gradually add zero-emission vehicles to their fleets, a dramatic shift that was welcomed by trucking leaders.

Known as the Advanced Clean Fleets Rule, the law would have mandated for certain truck and bus fleets in the state a phased-in deployment of ZEVs in their operations. Separately, California also has proposed an Advanced Clean Trucks rule that requires manufacturers only sell zero-emission trucks in the state beginning in the 2036 model year. Both proposals require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to grant CARB a waiver of federal rules to proceed. The state has withdrawn its waiver request for the ACF law, but the ACT proposal remains. Manufacturers have negotiated independently with the state on that proposal, and currently have an agreement in place.

“The Advanced Clean Trucks regulation will still be in effect, [and] it will likely put the onus on truck manufacturers to continue to make zero-emission trucks,” said Mike Tunnell, California-based senior director of environmental affairs/research for American Trucking Associations. READ MORE

In the latest edition of its annual freight forecast, the American Trucking Associations projects that after two years of declines, truck volumes are expected to grow 1.6% in 2025, and ultimately rise to nearly 14 billion tons by 2035.

The projection comes in ATA Freight Transportation Forecast 2024 to 2035, a joint report by ATA and S&P Global Market Intelligence.

“In this edition of Forecast, the trucking industry continues to dominate the freight transportation industry in terms of both tonnage and revenue, comprising 72.7% of tonnage and 76.9% of revenue in 2024,” said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello. “We project that market share to hold over the next decade as the country continues to rely on trucking to move the vast majority of freight.”

Other key findings in ATA’s Freight Transportation Forecast 2024 to 2035 include:

• Total truck tonnage will rise from an estimated 11.27 billion tons in 2024 to 13.99 billion tons in 2035. Over that same period, trucking industry revenues will grow from an estimated $906 billion to $1.46 trillion, accounting for 76.8% of the freight market by the end of the forecast period.

• Looking at other modes of transportation:

• The overall share of freight tonnage moved by railroads will fall from 10.6% in 2024 to 9.9% in 2035, mostly due to declines in coal volume.

• Intermodal rail tonnage will grow by 2.9% through 2030, and then 2.8% between 2031 and 2035.

• Air cargo, domestic waterborne transportation and pipelines will all see increases in tonnage between 2024 and 2035.

“Knowledge is power, and the information in Freight Forecast is an enabler for the leaders who shape our industry,” said ATA President and CEO Chris Spear. “Understanding the trends in our supply chain should be key for policymakers in Washington, in statehouses around the country and wherever decisions are being made that affect trucking and our economy.”

This Thursday December 12, 2024, at 10:00am in Trenton the NJ General Assembly Transportation & Independent Authorities Committee will take testimony on Assembly Bill 4967, which delays the implementation of the Advanced Clean Truck EV mandate, by two years.  

NJMTA leadership will testify in support of the bill.  However, for us to be successful, we will need as many trucking companies and truck dealerships as possible to show up and support Assembly Bil 4967.  Support includes testifying in support of the bill or submitting a witness slip stating your name and title and name of your company indicating you wish to be recorded in the legislative record as supporting but do not wish to testify. Your mere presence in the room is a huge benefit even if you don’t wish to testify, especially since the truck haters will be there in full force.  If you wish to testify, please let Jennifer Blazovic know as I would like to have a discussion with you beforehand.

The State House is located at 125 West State Street, Trenton, NJ.

If you cannot attend, you can watch the hearing here.  Scroll down to “Live Proceedings” then scroll to Assembly Transportation and Independent Authorities. The committee hearing may not start exactly at 10:00am. Keep refreshing your browser. Assembly Bill 4967 is one of seven bills on the agenda.

NJMTA Lobbyist, Eric DeGesero

After a thorough review of fuel consumption statistics and consultation with the Legislative Budget and Finance Officer, the Department of the Treasury announced on Monday that New Jersey’s gas tax rate will increase by 2.6 cents per gallon beginning January 1, 2025 to support the State’s Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) program. This increase is the result of the 2024 law (Chapter 7) which gradually raises the State’s Highway Fuel Cap from Fiscal Year 2025 through Fiscal Year 2029. The FY2025 Highway Fuel Cap is set by the new statute at exactly $2.032 billion, which is $84 million, or 4.3 percent higher than the previous baseline level of $1.948 billion, and will increase each fiscal year, reaching $2.366 billion in FY2029.

“Based on our review of the consumption data, combined with the requirement to meet the new statutory target, we have determined that the new formula dictates a 2.6 cent increase this coming January,” said State Treasurer Elizabeth Maher Muoio. “We are pleased that this dedicated funding stream continues to provide billions of dollars across the State to support our critical transportation infrastructure needs.”

Under Chapter 7, New Jersey’s TTF program is required to provide nearly $11 billion over five years to support critical infrastructure improvements to the State’s roadways and bridges. In order to ensure the State has the funds necessary to support these projects, the law dictates that the Petroleum Products Gross Receipt Tax (PPGRT) rate must be adjusted accordingly to generate enough revenue to meet the statutory Highway Fuel Cap for that fiscal year.

What is generally called the “gas tax” or the “highway fuels tax” is actually two separate taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel - the Motor Fuels Tax and the PPGRT.

Under the formula explicitly outlined in Chapter 7, the PPGRT rate will increase on January 1, 2025 from 31.8 cents to 34.4 cents for gasoline and from 35.8 cents to 38.4 cents for diesel fuel. When combined with the Motor Fuels Tax, which is fixed at 10.5 cents for gasoline and 13.5 cents for diesel fuel, the total tax rates that motorists will pay for gasoline and diesel fuel will be 44.9 cents and 51.9 cents, respectively.

Background on Chapter 7 & Calculation of Tax Rate Formula

Under Chapter 7, a statutory formula determines how much the PPGRT rate is to be adjusted annually in order to meet that year’s Highway Fuel Cap. The Treasurer is required to meet with the Legislative Budget and Finance Officer on or before November 15 of each fiscal year to determine the total revenue derived from highway fuels consumption. This process just concluded, with Treasurer Muoio and LBFO Thomas Koenig consulting on consumption data and revenue collections.

The PPGRT rate may be adjusted annually for the following two reasons:

• to correct for a prior fiscal year’s revenue shortfall or surplus in meeting the Highway Fuel Cap; and
• to correct for whether projected highway fuels consumption in the current fiscal year will be enough to meet the Highway Fuel Cap for the current fiscal year.

When necessary, the PPGRT rate is adjusted:

• higher (lower) if revenues for the previous fiscal year were below (above) the revenue target for that year;
• higher (lower) if consumption for the current fiscal year falls short (above) of the defined Highway Fuel Cap.

FY 2025 Rate Calculation

Treasury applied the above formula based on the following revenue numbers:

• After consultation between the State Treasurer and the Legislative Budget and Finance Officer during the review period in November 2025, the Highway Fuel Cap for FY 2025 is $2.032 billion, as set by the statute.

Supporting Statistics

Consumption of gasoline and diesel fuel in FY2025 is projected to be 0.6 percent above FY2024 levels.

As a result, the FY2025 PPGRT rate will be higher than in FY2024 because of the increased Highway Fuel Cap, as set by the statute.

Today, FMCSA issued a proposed rulemaking (Transparency in Property Broker Transactions) to amend property broker obligations.

FMCSA proposes amendments to its property broker rules in response to petitions for rulemaking from the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) and the Small Business in Transportation Coalition (SBTC).

Under current regulations, the parties to a brokered freight transaction have a right to review the broker's record of the transaction, which stakeholders often refer to as “broker transparency.” Contracts between brokers and motor carriers frequently contain waivers of this right. OOIDA requested that FMCSA promulgate a requirement that property brokers provide an electronic copy of each transaction record automatically within 48 hours after the contractual service has been completed, and explicitly prohibit brokers from including any provision in their contracts that requires a motor carrier to waive its rights to access the transaction records. SBTC requested that FMCSA prohibit brokers of property from coercing or requiring parties to brokers' transactions to waive their right to review the record of the transaction as a condition for doing business and prohibit the use of clause(s) exempting the broker from having to comply with this transparency requirement. Though the proposed rule is responsive to the petitions in reinforcing the broker transparency requirement, the proposed provisions differ from those requested by OOIDA and SBTC.

The proposed rule would revise the regulatory text to make clear that brokers have a regulatory obligation to provide transaction records to the transacting parties on request. The proposal would also make changes to the format and content of the records.

Comments must be received on or before January 21, 2025.

Law enforcement officers in Canada and the U.S. pulled over 11,050 vehicles during this year’s Operation Safe Driver Week. Officers issued 2,712 tickets/citations and 3,228 warnings to commercial motor vehicle and passenger vehicle drivers for various unsafe driving infractions.

Operation Safe Driver Week is an annual, pre-announced safe-driving initiative aimed at improving driving behaviors through traffic enforcement strategies, interactions with law enforcement, and outreach and awareness campaigns.

From July 7 to 13, officers issued 2,439 warnings and 1,583 tickets/citations to commercial motor vehicle drivers and 789 warnings and 1,129 tickets/citations to passenger vehicle drivers for unsafe driving behaviors.

Reckless/careless/dangerous driving was the focus area for this year’s Operation Safe Driver Week. Five warnings and 31 citations were given to drivers for reckless, careless or dangerous driving. Any person who drives a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is driving recklessly. Careless/dangerous driving is defined as operating a vehicle without due care and attention or reasonable consideration for other motorists or people on the road.

Speeding was a top infraction during Operation Safe Driver Week. A total of 1,694 warnings and 1,226 citations/tickets were issued for speeding. Commercial motor vehicle drivers received 1,221 warnings and 502 tickets/citations, and passenger vehicle drivers received 473 warnings and 724 citations/tickets for speed-related infractions.

According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 12,330 speeding-related fatalities in the U.S. in 2021, and speeding was a contributing factor in 29% of all fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. Transport Canada found that speeding was contributing factor in 21.9% of all fatal collisions in Canada in 2022.

Another top unsafe driving behavior identified during Operation Safe Driver Week was failure to wear a seat belt. A total of 354 warnings and 554 tickets/citations were issued. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, wearing a seat belt is the most effective way to prevent injury or death in a motor vehicle crash. Seat belts reduce serious crash-related injuries and deaths by about half.

Commercial motor vehicle drivers received 328 warnings and 473 tickets/citations for not wearing their seat belt. According to the U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), an estimated 14% of commercial motor vehicle drivers do not wear their seat belt.

During Operation Safe Driver Week, passenger vehicle drivers were given 26 warnings and 81 tickets/citations for failure to wear a seat belt. NHTSA states that 8.1% of passenger vehicle drivers do not wear their seat belt.

Texting or using a handheld device was another top violation. A total of 158 warnings and 169 tickets/citations were issued to drivers who were texting or using a mobile device while driving. Passenger vehicle drivers received 67 warnings and 54 tickets/citations for texting/using a handheld device while behind the wheel. Commercial motor vehicle drivers received 91 warnings and 115 tickets/citations for texting/using a handheld device while operating a commercial motor vehicle.

NHTSA states that distracted driving claimed 3,308 lives in the U.S. in 2022. And according to Transport Canada’s National Collision Database, distracted driving contributed to an estimated 22.5% of fatal collisions on Canada’s roadways in 2021.

Thirty drivers received warnings and 49 were given a ticket/citation for possession/use/under influence of drugs/alcohol. In 2020, 11,654 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving impaired drivers, accounting for 30% of all traffic-related deaths in the U.S. Police-reported data for 2022 indicated that 70,588 impaired driving incidents were reported in Canada.

In the U.S., commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders and commercial learner’s permit (CLP) holders with drug and alcohol program violations are identified in FMCSA’s Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. CDL holders with “prohibited” status in the clearinghouse have lost their CDL or CLP and must complete the return-to-duty process to become eligible to have their license reinstated.

In addition to traffic stops, another important aspect of the Operation Safe Driver Week campaign is raising awareness of the dangers of unsafe driving behaviors in an effort to dissuade such behaviors.

CVSA mailed approximately 65,000 Operation Safe Driver Week postcards to inspectors and motor carriers for distribution in the weeks leading up to and during Operation Safe Driver Week.

CVSA worked with the Paramount/CBS network to educate passenger vehicle drivers about safely sharing the roads with large trucks. The campaign included videos, digital ad banners, and video and static awareness ads, which were featured on websites, social media and CBS’s digital streaming channels. The digital campaign delivered more than 8 million impressions.

In addition, the identification and prevention of human trafficking is a priority for law enforcement jurisdictions throughout North America. During Operation Safe Driver Week, officers reported conducting 1,924 awareness and educational activities to raise awareness of the crime of human trafficking, indicators to look for and what to do when a victim of human trafficking has been identified

The Operation Safe Driver Program, part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s suite of transportation safety programs, was created to reduce the number of crashes involving commercial motor vehicles and passenger vehicles due to unsafe driving behaviors. Through initiatives like Operation Safe Driver Week, law enforcement jurisdictions, the motor carrier industry and federal agencies work together toward the same goal – preventing crashes, injuries and fatalities on North America’s roadways.

Drivers reminded to Move Over for stopped emergency and work vehicles

As part of National Crash Responder Safety Week, November 18 – 22, New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Commissioner Fran O’Connor is reminding motorists to Move Over for stopped emergency and work vehicles. This year a total of 32 responders have been struck and killed nationally while working in or near moving traffic.

“Crash Responder Safety Week raises public awareness of the dangers our emergency personnel and other roadway workers face every day,” NJDOT Commissioner Fran O’Connor said. “We all have a responsibility to protect those who protect you. When you see emergency personnel and workers on the road, slow down and move over—it’s the law!”

To support the effort, Governor Murphy signed a proclamation declaring November 18 – 22 as National Crash Responder Safety Week in New Jersey. The goal is to help bring awareness to crash responder safety and the dangers of failing to abide by laws established to protect first responders and motorists at crash scenes.

The New Jersey Move Over Law (New Jersey Statute 39:4-92.2) requires motorists to slow down and move over at least one lane, if safe, when there are emergency personnel and workers on the road. Otherwise, a driver must slow down to provide a safer work environment for all first responders, authorized emergency vehicles, and workers on New Jersey roads.

New Jersey is a leading state in Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Responder Training provided by NJDOT. It brings police, firefighters, medical personnel, transportation, towing, and other incident responders together to engage in interactive, hands-on incident resolution exercises. In New Jersey, more than 37,000 first responders have completed NJDOT’s TIM training. TIM training is available online, making it possible for even more emergency and incident response personnel to access this life-saving training.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has recognized NJDOT for TIM Training Best Practices related to the creation of training videos and NJDOT’s comprehensive website, www.NJTIM.org, where the online training can be found. The TIM training program focuses on response efforts that protect both motorists and responders at the scene of a crash while minimizing the impact on traffic flow. Multiple agencies working together is a critical factor to safely and quickly responding to and clearing incidents.
