The nations freight shippers, receivers, and carriers depend on transportation agencies to provide new highway capacity to meet the demands of growing domestic commerce and international trade. Yet, the traditional highway planning process has not broadly engaged these freight stakeholders in the planning process. As state departments of transportation (DOTs) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) make efforts to improve the quality of their interaction with the freight community, Integrating Freight Considerations into the Highway Capacity Planning Process: Practitioners Guide offers timely guidance and examples of best practices. The Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) Project C15 was developed primarily through interviews and case studies collected through discussions with public- and private-sector freight stakeholders across the United States. The case studies and other research culminated in this guide, which uses the four-phase SHRP 2 highway planning framework to help agencies know when, how, and who to engage from the freight stakeholder community at each stage: long-range transportation planning, corridor planning, programming, and environmental review and permitting.
