Public sector planners and officials desire a clearer understanding of how goods movement benefits communities through job creation, tax revenues, and other benefits, while balancing the potential environmental and/or community disbenefits.
NCHRP Web-Only Document 373: Integrating Freight Movement into Twenty-First-Century Communities' Land Use, Design, and Transportation Systems, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, develops a planning toolkit for public-sector decision-makers to better integrate freight and goods movement into the planning process for land use, design, and multimodal transportation systems.
Supplemental to the report is a Freight Planning Toolkit that consists of instructional white papers to assist transportation planners in linking freight and land use. The topics include (1) stakeholder engagement, (2) freight livability, (3) freight logistics decision-making, (4) emerging trends, (5) data, and (6) freight and land use. In addition, there is an Excel-based tool that will assist the user in identifying resources specific to their context.
