Preserving and Protecting Freight Infrastructure and Routes

---

NCFRP Report 16 is the final report of NCFRP Project 24, “Preserving and Protecting Freight Infrastructure and Routes” (FY 2009). The purpose of this project was to provide practical tools to preserve and protect freight facilities and corridors. This report
• Presents information about freight transportation and its importance to everyday life; • Illustrates types of conflicts between freight and other land uses, and their consequences; and • Provides tools and resources to preserve facilities and corridors, including prevention or reso- lution of these conflicts.
The target audience for this study consists of decision makers involved in freight facility opera- tions, freight transportation planning, and land-use decisions. This includes state departments of commerce and transportation, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), local officials and their planning offices, legislators and their staffs, freight facility developers, freight operators, and real estate concerns. One innovative contribution of the NCFRP Project 24 was the development of a website, en- titled EnvisionFreight, found at http://www.EnvisionFreight.com, and an associated guidebook. The “beta” version of the website and guidebook were previewed at the NCFRP Project 24 workshop, held in January 2011. For many of the topics covered in this report, more detailed materials are available on the website. References to these website materials are provided in this report where relevant.
