Topic: Understanding the Policy and Program Structure of National and International Freight Corridor Programs: International Scan

Description: Hear findings from the Understanding the Policy and Program Structure of National and International Freight Corridor Programs international scan. Learn what planning and implementation activities the EU and the countries have undertaken on freight transportation corridor programs — how they developed, evolved and implemented those programs on a national level and cross jurisdictional level. This scan shed light on the possibilities of North American freight corridors and identified policies, mechanisms, and programs that the national government, and State and local governments will need to address should the United States develop a national freight corridor program.

Presenters: TBD
