• Abstract:
  The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)initiated a state-wide freight truck origin and destination study in April of 1993. A region-wide freight truck origin and destination study was first proposed in Washington as an element of the Eastern Washington Intermodal Transportation Study (EWITS). EWITS is a six-year ISTEA planning study to define the multimodal network necessary for the efficient movement of freight and people throughout the region of Washington located on the east side of the Cascade Mountains. Supplemental funding provided by WSDOT enabledthe EWITS freight truck origin and destination study to be expanded to include the entire state. The Washington study is the first in the United States to collect state-wide freight truck origin and destination data through direct personal interviews of truck drivers. The statewide study involved over 300 persons conducting personal interviews at 28 separate locations. A total of 28,000 truck drivers were interviewed providing Washington with an extensive database on state-wide freight and goods movements.
