Every Day Is Freight Day: Finding the Balance with Continuous Transportation Planning

To keep pace with ever-changing needs and trends, many jurisdictions have implemented continuous planning techniques. An agency’s long-range transportation plan should be comprehensive and should provide strategies for transportation to support all needs and modes, offering options and redundancy to the traveling public. Many agencies are challenged, however, by questions of where to fit freight mobility into the overall plan, how to prioritize freight issues and needs, and how to harmonize all modes including freight—particularly in urban environments. This article addresses these questions and the importance of freight in continuous planning.
