Topic: Freight and Land Use
– Making the Connection
Description: Land use and
transportation decisions provide the framework for freight nodes and the
transportation links that ultimately shape the functioning of local and
regional economies. To have a successful freight system, transportation and
land use decision makers must understand the impact of their actions, share
critical information and engage with each other and the private sector. Learn
how two MPOs are making the freight and land use connection through activities
such as stakeholder involvement, site plan reviews, regional freight planning
and freight villages studies and hear about FHWA's upcoming handbook on Freight
and Land Use.

If you have not yet participated

by the Federal Highway Administration, are held via web conference, which means
that you view the PowerPoint presentations over the Internet while listening to
the presenters over your computer or the telephone. There is no cost involved
and you do not have to leave your desk to participate. More information about
Talking Freight is available at http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/fpd/talking_freight/index.htm
