MAP-21 Freight Provisions & Data Needs AASHTO FHWA Freight Partnership V Washington, DC 2013 Bill Gardner Minnesota Department of Transportation Office of Freight & Commercial Vehicle Operations
Freight Data • What do I need? • Where do I find it? • Is it accurate? • How do I manage it? • What does it cost?
Freight Information Needs • Industry profiles, trends, supply chains, needs, issues • Commodity flows—tonnage, value, O-D, mode, direction • Performance—travel time, reliability, accessibility • Bottlenecks analysis, resiliency, safety • Infrastructure condition, capacity and design • Cost to shippers and receivers • Impacts on communities & the environment • Regulatory effectiveness • Economic impacts, public & private benefits
MAP-21 Freight ProvisionsData & Analytical Needs • State Designation of Critical Rural Freight Corridors -HCADT, energy access, tonnage • Prioritization of Projects to Improve Freight Movement -Efficiency & performance impacts • Freight Performance (measures) -Interstate freight movement , targets, bottlenecks
State Freight Plans Required Elements • Freight trends, needs, issues • Freight policies, strategies & performance measures • Ability to meet national goals • Operational strategies including ITS • Projected road deterioration due to heavy vehicles • Improvements to reduce or impede deterioration • Inventory of freight mobility issues and strategies
State Freight Plans Recommended Elements • Economic context, industry profiles, supply chains • Freight transportation assets for all modes • Condition & performance reporting for each goal (specific bottlenecks & measures) • Freight investment process including B/C • Implementation plan, project funding sources
Freight Performance Measures (freight movement on Interstates) Travel Time—annual hours of truck delay Truck Reliability Index—ratio of 80th percentile to congestion threshold travel time Input Data: -Corridor segments (freight network) -Truck vehicle miles of travel (HPMS) -Hourly truck volume estimates -Average truck travel speed by segment (GPS) -Agency specified threshold speed
Recommended Data Sources • Agency data & tools—State DOTs & MPOs, FHWA, BTS, USDA, Corps of Engineers, Dept. of Commerce • Research—NCFRP, NCHRP, AASHTO, ATRI • Industry— businesses, trade associations • Partnerships—coalitions, universities • Procurement—datasets, software, consultants
