  • Abstract:
    The effi ciency and effectiveness of freight transportation is critical for economic growth and development, ; ensuring livable communities, and creating a sustainable human and natural environment. It is increasingly ; important to integrate freight transportation issues and solutions throughout the transportation planning ; and project development process. ; This handbook is designed to provide information on freight transportation to: 1) professionals responsible ; for advancing transportation projects through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process ; analysis; and 2) public and private sector freight stakeholders interested in advancing freight transportation ; projects utilizing public sector highway funds that require NEPA analysis. ; NEPA requires analysis of the impacts of proposed Federal activities on the natural and human environments. ; Therefore, the use of Federal-aid highway funds to implement a transportation project requires ; that the project be advanced through the NEPA process as defi ned in law and regulation. This handbook ; considers freight transportation from two perspectives: 1) a project that itself is designed to resolve a freight ; transportation issue or need; and 2) a project in which freight-related features (warehousing, access to intermodal ; facilities, loading docks, etc.) could be affected by the project’s design and location.
