Transportation planning
Office of Goods Movement
The Office of Goods Movement (OGM) develops strategies, policies and methodologies that work to improve the freight transportation system in California. Consisting of the truck, rail, air and seaport industries, the goods movement network provides vital connections between producers and consumers within the state, nationally and internationally.
Aside from the state highway system, much of the freight transportation network is privately owned and operated. For this reason, partnerships with the private sector and local and regional agencies are critical to fostering and maintaining coordinated and efficient freight planning and implementation.
The Office of Goods Movement also conducts analysis of freight transportation system performance and future trends, and recommends improvements through system planning, regional planning, intergovernmental review, and other activities.
Richard Nordahl is the Chief for the Office of Goods Movement.
