What is freight?

5

freight /frāt/ noun

• 1. goods transported by

truck, train, ship, or aircraft

How does freight move?

• The U.S. freight transportation system moves 55 million tons of

goods, worth more than $49 billion, each day

• Freight is moved by private sector entities on infrastructure built,
• wned, and operated by a mix of:
• Federal, State, and local government agencies (e.g., roads)
• Public-private authorities (e.g., airports and marine ports)
• Private sector entities (e.g., railroad)
• Freight movements are often international and intermodal
• E.g. The banana you ate this morning likely came from Ecuador, nearly

3,000 miles away, and traveled by ship and truck to get here.

Why is freight important?

• The U.S. economy is expected to double in size between 2015-2045
• The U.S. population is projected to increase by 70 million people

between 2015-2045

• More people will require more food, more clothes, more phones,

more construction materials for more housing, more freight!

• Freight movements across all modes is expected to grow 40 percent

by 2045

How is freight planning different?

Passenger Planning Freight Planning Generally single jurisdiction, single agency Multiple jurisdictions, interagency coordination Trip generation and travel behaviors are well understood Freight movements are difficult to predict based on market forces Publicly available data Proprietary data Transport of me is personal: easy to engage public and decision makers Transport of my stuff is invisible: difficult to engage public and decision makers Stakeholders are easily identified Freight stakeholders are more difficult to identify and engage Passengers vote Freight does not vote

What are federal freight planning requirements?

• Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, passed in

December 2015, was the first surface transportation legislation to:

• Establish freight planning requirements
• Dedicate funding for freight planning and projects
• States must develop a comprehensive and multimodal State Freight

Plan that outlines immediate and long-range plans for freight related transportation investments

• States must submit State Freight Plans by December 2017 to program

federal freight formula funds

• Plans must be updated at least every five years

10

11

What are federal freight planning requirements? (cont.)

1. System trends, needs, and issues 2. Policies, strategies, and performance measures 3. List of multimodal critical urban/rural freight facilities and corridors 4. Consistency with national multimodal freight policy goals 5. Consideration of innovative technologies and operational strategies 6. Strategies to reduce damage that heavy vehicles do to key roadways 7. Inventory of facilities with freight mobility issues, such as bottlenecks 8. Consideration of significant congestion and mitigation 9. Fiscally constrained freight investment plan and list of priority projects

• 10. Consultation with the State Freight Advisory Committee, if applicable

• FAST Act provides $6.3 billion in formula funds to State DOTs over five

years

• This is not new funding, but rather a reallocation of funds from other

transportation programs

• FAST Act established FASTLANE, a discretionary grant program of $4.5

billion over five years

• This is a new grant program, open to public transportation agencies, and

public/private partnerships

• The 2016 round received 212 applications totaling $9.8 billion in requests

and awarded $757 million to 18 projects

12

What federal funding is available for freight planning?

What are State Freight Advisory Committees?

• FAST Act recommends States to establish Freight Advisory

Committees to:

• Advise on freight-related priorities, issues, projects, and funding needs
• Serve as forum for discussion of transportation decisions affecting freight

mobility

• Communicate and coordinate regional priorities
• Promote sharing of information between public and private partners
• Participate in development of State Freight Plan
• May be permanent and on-going, or convene only to inform freight

plan development

13

Who belongs on State Freight Advisory Committees?

• May comprise representative cross-section of public and private

sector freight stakeholders:

• Marine ports
• Airports
• Freight railroads
• Shippers, carriers, and freight forwarders
• Freight associations
• Third-party logistics providers
• Freight industry workforce
• State DOT, MPO, and local government
