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.
