Dunedin City Council staff may set up a freight group to look at ways of encouraging companies to carry more freight by rail and sea.
And the encouragement may include financial assistance for those choosing rail or sea over road, although it is unclear how much assistance might be available or where the money might come from.
The idea of the freight group was raised by council transportation planning manager Don Hill in a report to the council's planning and environment committee meeting this week.

There's only so much area that rail and sea/river barge can cover. Won't be able to get freight into a lot of places without the trucks . . . duh.
