Freight The m ovem ent of goods and com modities into, out of, and through the greater Medford area is heavily dependent on the highway system , although freight m ovement also occurs using rail, air, and pipeline modes. As indicated in the 2001-2023 Rogue Valley Regional Transportation Plan , freight transportation has often been overlooked as a m ajor transportation issu e in the Rogue Valley . However, as som e of the important roadway s in the city are beginning to show significant traffic volum e increases and capacity constraints, the im pact of congestion on freight m obility needs to be addressed.
