Abstract	The heart of this website is a hyperlinked table of contents for the final report, Freight Impacts on Ohios Roadway System, by Daniel Beagan and Lance Grenzeback of Cambridge Systematics, Inc., dated June 2002. The Ohio Department of Transportation is developing a comprehensive, statewide, travel demand forecasting model, which will include sophisticated freight-planning capabilities; however, the model will not be fully functional until 2005. The purposes of this research study were to determine how readily available freight databases could: provide information on freight flows; forecast freight truck flows on Ohios roadways; and be used to assess its impact on those roadways. The website also provides on-line access to preliminary documents and to the Upper Midwest Freight Study Corridor Proposal.
