New York City is working to shift its Transportation, Logistics, and Distribution sector to its waterways under the Blue Highways initiative. This transformation aims to reduce truck congestion, cut emissions, and create good-paying jobs across maritime, logistics, and support industries. With Accenture, Karp Strategies utilized stakeholder interviews and data analysis to map the existing workforce against the future needs of a successful Blue Highway, providing insight on the gaps for this emerging workforce, identifying critical occupations roles to drive growth, and enabling the NYCEDC to support the creation of career pathways in the Blue Highway system.
