Abstract:

As available data has increased and as the national transportation funding bills have moved toward ; objective evaluation, departments of transportation (DOTs) throughout the country have begun to ; develop tools to measure the impacts of different projects. Increasingly, DOTs recognize the freight ; transportation system is necessarily multimodal. However, few DOTs have clearly stated objective ; tools to make multimodal freight project comparisons. This report informs that gap by summarizing ; the existing academic literature on the state of the science for freight project impact estimation and ; reviewing methods currently used by select DOTs nationwide. These methods are analyzed to identify ; common themes and determine potential avenues for multimodal project evaluation. Most methods ; either take the form of benefit-cost analysis or a scorecard approach. Examples of each were reviewed ; in-depth and patterns evaluated. While most tools use similar measures, the supporting metrics vary ; widely and are not applicable to all modes.
