TRB’s National Cooperative Freight Research Program (NCFRP) Report 15: Dedicated Revenue Mechanisms for Freight Transportation Investment explores methods that might be used to raise revenue to support government investment in freight transportation facilities, primarily for highway transportation.

The report assesses revenue-generating mechanisms such as motor-vehicle fuel tax surcharges, vehicle registration fees, and distance-based road-user fees in terms of their potential effectiveness, efficiency, and viability.
