• Abstract:
  DDOT asked the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe) to conduct an ; analysis of existing truck traffic conditions in the District, successful truck management ; practices from other areas, stakeholder interests and opinions, and security concerns. Using ; this background information, Volpe has developed a set of recommendations for improved ; truck management in the District, including creating officially-designated truck routes, ; adding a Motor Carrier Office (MCO) within DDOT that would coordinate all motor carrier ; management issues, and provide better on- and off-street loading/unloading facilities ; through a combination of parking rule changes, parking enforcement, and zoning rules ; regarding off-street loading docks.
