Abstract:

The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act has created new funding opportunities to improve safety and eliminate critical freight bottlenecks. This has renewed focus of state agencies and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) towards freight management strategies and projects that can significantly reduce inefficiencies in freight mobility. However, current literature has gaps in terms of methods and models for identifying appropriate freight projects and lacks comprehensive review of implemented truck freight management strategies. Hence, this paper reviews and classifies various freight management strategies, develops a systematic methodology to identify best strategies and applies the methodology to Texas. The paper also performs a case study on the shortlisted strategies for a major freight corridor in the US-Mexico border region (city of El Paso). The approach is generic and can be adopted by any state agency or MPOs.

Supplemental Notes:

This paper was sponsored by TRB committee ADB50 Standing Committee on Transportation Planning Applications.
