NARC 2009 Freight Summit

2009 Freight Summit Agenda

About the Summit: The efficient, reliable and safe movement of goods and services throughout our country and beyond drives our economy. Current regional transportation planning processes mandated by federal law are collaborative and designed to include the interests of various stakeholders in making recommendations and decisions concerning specific projects and overall transportation policies. While most MPOs and COGs do not directly implement projects, they do provide overall coordination in the planning and programming of funds for billions of dollars in transportation projects and operations, and better cooperation between regional transportation planners and their private sector freight partners will foster a greater understanding of the varying processes and perspectives from each group on freight transportation planning. This 3 part summit will explain the current thinking regarding the integration of public and private freight stakeholders into the transportation planning process, provide innovative examples, and develop a strategy by which these public and private sector innovations may be replicated.
