At the request of Bucks County, the Lower Bucks Freight Access Study was undertaken to examine freight generation and patterns in more detail and to provide recommendations and strategies that support the area’s industrial growth centered around the Keystone Trade Center development, while ensuring the safe and efficient movement of both people and goods. This study documents existing land use and employment patterns; provides an analysis of activity and identified trends; and lays out recommendations for designating and implementing a truck route network, traffic calming

considerations, workforce access, and increased clarity of directional and truck restriction signage. This report is divided into five chapters: introduction, background, existing transportation conditions, general recommendations, and design focus areas.

Geographic Area Covered: Lower Bucks County, Falls Township, and Morrisville Borough Area

Key Words: Industrial Development, Freight, Freight Centers, Truck Route, Workforce Access, Keystone Trade Center
