The use of local freight data in transportation planning is essential to ensure accuracy in the travel demand modeling process. Although extensive research work has been performed into the collection and use of household travel data for passenger transportation, limited research work has been performed to collect and use local freight travel data. This paper examines a structure developed to collect and summarize local freight data in an urban area to be used in the transportation planning process within a metropolitan planning organization. The paper concludes that the appropriate collection and analysis of freight data can be performed and the output can be used to support transportation planning activities.
