  • Abstract:
    The American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) co-hosted the AASHTO-FHWA Freight Partnership II meeting on February 14-16, 2007 in Natchez, Mississippi. Meeting participants represented State Departments of Transportation (DOT), metropolitan planning organizations (MPO), FHWA division offices, FHWA Headquarters, and the private sector. This meeting was a follow-on to the Freight Partnership conference held in Columbus, Ohio in April 2005. The Freight Partnership II meeting was held to build upon the outcomes of the first Freight Partnership conference by populating the national freight policy framework, identifying and sharing the successes in developing champions and permanent capacity that have occurred since the first conference, and identifying freight professional development needs that are necessary in order to build permanent capacity and advance freight transportation. As with the first conference, a survey was held prior to the meeting to identify the state of the practice in freight transportation for State DOTs, FHWA, MPOs, and Regional Councils. The survey gathered information on freight priorities, freight plans, freight professional development needs, awareness of the national freight policy framework, level of permanent capacity, moving from planning to project implementation, participation in freight advisory councils and multi-jurisdictional freight coalitions, and freight needs. The results of this survey were discussed in a web conference prior to the Freight Partnership II meeting and were also used to shape the panel discussions and workshops held during the meeting. This report discusses the findings from the survey and the Partnership II meeting.
