Literature was reviewed on multi-modal investment criteria for freight projects, examining measures and techniques for quantifying project benefits and costs, as well as ways to describe the economic importance of freight transportation. A limited assessment of how investment decisions are made in Oregon was conducted by examining projects selected for the ConnectOregon II program (other funding programs exist, which use different approaches in selecting projects ConnectOregon was selected because it is a multimodal program). To compliment the investigation of investment decisions, stakeholder opinions on multimodal freight needs and issues were also solicited. From the literature review and survey of stakeholders, new and supplemental multimodal freight investment criteria were highlighted.
