• Description:
  Freight planning and operation perspectives of Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) includes development of a national freight plan to address freight congestion bottlenecks, connectivity enhancement of major intermodal centers, and determination of barriers to improve freight performance. Currently state departments of transportation DOTs are at a very early stage in their development of freight performance measures (FPMs) to meet MAP-21 objectives. Some states are reviewing methodologies and appropriate data needs to assess their feasibility in developing FPMs. The goal of this project is to develop FPMs to meet MAP-21 objectives and apply the methodology in National Center for Freight & Infrastructure Research and Education (CFIRE) region.
