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.
