FPD Roadmap and 2004 Annual Report

FHWA’s Office of Freight Management and Operations regularly works with our State and metropolitan customers to identify new FPD products needed to help them do their jobs better and to assess the effectiveness of existing products. Input from our customers and other freight stakeholders is reflected in the list of proposed FPD initiatives for fiscal years (FY) 2005 through 2007. In addition, we are providing a snapshot of completed products that are available today.

Goal: To integrate freight improvements in the transportation development process to improve mobility, economic growth, and global connectivity.
