This guidebook, prepared for the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), provides the necessary resources to undertake freight transportation planning activities in small- and medium-sized metropolitan areas. The guidebook describes how freight policy, planning and programming processes can be most effectively designed, initiated and managed. The research focused, in part, on lessons learned from experiences in small- and medium-sized metropolitan areas that resulted in more effective consideration of freight issues in policy, planning and programming decisions.
