The FHWA Office of Freight Management and Operations has released a
Freight and Land Use Handbook. This handbook provides transportation and
land use planners tools and resources to properly assess the impacts of land
use decisions on freight movements, as well as the impacts of freight
development and growth on land use planning goals. The handbook identifies
freight-related land use issues, key considerations, and available resources.
Throughout the handbook, examples and case studies from a range of urban
and rural areas across the country are used to demonstrate the effectiveness
of these techniques. An electronic version of the handbook is available at:
