• Abstract:
  The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) developed this Freight and Logistics Supply Chain Assessment in response to Executive Order 14017: America’s Supply Chains. This sectoral assessment of the freight industrial base identifies and addresses current transportation supply chain vulnerabilities and challenges. It also identifies potential policy responses to strengthen the resilience of the freight system and reduce impacts from future disruptions. Specifically, this Assessment informs the following questions to shape the Federal Government’s work to create more resilient supply chains: (1) What are the critical supply chain vulnerabilities that affect economic security and resilience? (2) What tools and policy recommendations could USDOT employ to address supply chain vulnerabilities? (3) How can USDOT partner with other Federal agencies and non-Federal stakeholders to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities?
