Integrating Freight into Transportation Planning and Project-Selection Processes

This report documents the approach and findings resulting from a project that explored techniques designed to help states and metropolitan planning organizations more fully incorporate freight throughout the entire transportation planning and programming process and more effectively plan, develop, program, and implement freight improvement projects. NCHRP Report 594, "Guidebook for Integrating Freight into Transportation Planning and Project Selection Processes," was developed as a result of this project. It organizes the findings and recommendations of the project into a user-oriented guidebook format and includes the full set of case studies developed as part of the project.
