These and other freight stakeholders have begun to realize that freight system investments just involve partnerships between the public sector and the private sector, among a variety of different private-sector entities, and across public-sector jurisdictions and agencies. Developing and sustaining these partnerships require analytical tools that can provide insights into the nature and allocation of freight benefits and costs, as well as how they accrue across modal, jurisdictional, and interest (public/private) boundaries. The NCFRP research project described in this report, NCFRP Report 12: Framework and Tools for Estimating Benefits of Specific Freight Network Investments, developed such a tool. Through the identification of best practices, interviews with public and private freight stake-holders, and an assessment of the data and methods used to evaluate freight investments, this project has developed a Freight Evaluation Framework that represents an integrated analytical approach to supporting and evaluating complex freight investment decisions. This Framework defines a wide range of public and private benefits and impacts of freight infrastructure investments and identifies the tools and supporting data necessary to evaluate these benefits and impacts. The Framework is capable of handling projects that span all of the different freight modes and is able to assess benefits from a variety of project types and scales. It distinguishes how benefits and impacts are evaluated at the local, regional, state, and national level; and in so doing, it recognizes the role that different public-sector entities play in making funding decisions for freight investments.
