16 The FELU program is expected to list the actions needed to systematically foster FELUs to increase the efficiency of supply chains and freight activity. In most cases, these actions can be undertaken within the parameters previously set by a jurisdiction's long-term land-use plan.

Development of a FELU Program 17 This Guide takes advantage of NCFRP Report 33, which produced a comprehensive review of potential initiatives to address freight issues. The original NCFRP Report 33's initiatives were reorganized as part of a continuum of initiatives together with the land-use initiatives developed in this Guide.

Development of a FELU Program 21 3.3 Suggested Steps to Produce a FELU Program The overall process to develop a FELU program is outlined in Figure 6. There are four major steps intended to provide a solid understanding of the chief features of the local economy, freight activity, and supply chain patterns in the area; develop an understanding of the issues to be addressed and the opportunities that could be exploited; obtain a general idea about how the prevailing economic and technological trends may impact land-use patterns and freight activity; identify the most effective FELU initiatives; and engage stakeholders to determine the way forward.

22 Planning Freight-Efficient Land Uses: Methodology, Strategies, and Tools 3.3.3 Identification and Selection of FELU and Transportation Initiatives The main objective of this task is to identify the most appropriate set of initiatives to accomplish the objectives of the FELU program. A tenet of this Guide is that the use of complementary land-use initiatives, and complementary land-use and transportation initiatives, could be impactful because of the synergies between the initiatives.
