• Abstract:
  Representing more than 1.4 million jobs and nearly $130 billion in regional domestic product, freight-related industries make up a significant portion of Washington State's economy.1 Within the transportation sector, several opportunities exist to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including converting from traditional to alternative fuels, diesel retrofits, emission treatment technologies, or idle reduction devices. However, planners traditionally had little insight how State policy scenarios aimed at reducing freight emissions would affect the freight system. Given the importance of the State's freight industry and lack of understanding regarding different policy scenarios, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) completed a study to collect both qualitative and quantitative data from two of the State's major supply chains: wheat production and food delivery.
