To address concerns with diminishing productivity gains in freight investments, growing highway congestion, and increasing numbers of bottlenecks for freight transportation, leading transportation organizations have developed a growing body of resources to direct the practice of freight transportation planning practice. The Transportation Research Board (TRB), American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO), FHWA, and other organizations have developed training materials, studies, and guidebooks to cultivate expertise and to weave freight considerations into established planning processes. In addition, leading states (i.e., those that have conducted freight transportation planning exercises), MPOs, and other transportation planning and programming organizations have begun to develop and implement sophisticated mechanisms to systematically and comprehensively address a broad spectrum of goods movement-related issues through their planning activities.
