Commodity Flow Survey Findings in FAF2.2 Results and FAF3 Update for Phase 2 of the I-70 Dedicated Truck Lanes

Congestion along the four-state portion of I-70 has lead to a study of alternatives for new capacity, including truck lanes. Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) 2.2 and now FAF3 analysis summaries are, in part, being used to help profile and quantify freight movements to, from, within, and across the corridor region. The context of these summaries includes the corridor region in its entirety, as well as from the context of unique metropolitan areas that intersect the I-70 corridor. These regions are defined by selected aggregations of FAF zone geographies. The flow summaries and related map output allows the visualization of directional proportional flow volumes in terms of value and tonnage, by commodity, mode, and combinations thereof. This information is deemed important to better understand, visualize, and contribute to the quantification of need, capacity, and sustainability of developing and maintaining a successful dedicated truck lane system along the I-70 corridor.
