Interstate 10 Western Connected Freight Corridor, Volume 1: Improvement Strategies

The Interstate 10 (I-10) western connected freight corridor extends from the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles in California to the Port of Beaumont in Texas. Collaborating through a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) pooled fund study, the state departments of transportation in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas (the I-10 Corridor Coalition) produced improvement strategies supporting development of a planning framework for a connected freight corridor. This publication documents five strategies to improve freight movement on the I-10 Corridor: truck parking availability systems, freight traveler information systems, freight technology enviroment, roadside safety communication, and oversize/overweight permit standardization. Included are functional descriptions of the corridor, stakeholders informed about this study, a synthesis of freight improvement technologies and strategies considered for application, stakeholder engagement, use case scenarios and implementation considerations, and a planning framework for strategy implementation.
