Description To support an on-going study for the National Cooperative Freight Research Program (NCFRP), the following survey aims to identify the state-of-practice and critical needs for freight modeling and analysis tools to support public-sector freight planning and decision-making. The survey results will provide an overview of the freight modeling practices in use across the country and identify high-priority improvements to address analysis tool deficiencies. Ultimately, this NCFRP effort will produce a guidebook for planners and modelers to develop and improve freight forecasting analysis tools for use in investment decisions. Any public- or private-sector decision-makers, modelers, and planners involved with freight planning and modeling are welcome and encouraged to participate in this survey. Please select the URL link above to take the survey. Thank you for your participation.
