项目名称: Synthesis of Information Related to Highway Practices. Topic 53-17. Integrating Freight into Policies, Planning, and Project Development for Active Transportation
摘要: Historically, freight elements have not been incorporated into active transportation policies, planning, design, implementation, and construction. Freight elements in roadway designs are an increasingly important consideration due to the growth in e-commerce deliveries and conflicts between freight vehicles and active transportation users. Whether a bicyclist, pedestrian, or freight delivery person, each desires additional bicycle lanes, sidewalks, or ready access to curbs, respectively. State departments of transportation (DOTs) have to balance freight elements such as pull-outs for truck parking, temporary halting space for delivery trucks, truck lanes, or other considerations to facilitate freight movement. The objective of this synthesis is to document state DOT practices, tools, and approaches related to the integration of freight into active transportation policy and planning. Information to be gathered includes (but is not limited to): (1) Policies or plan guidelines on freight elements; (2) Policies or plan guidelines on active transportation; and (3) Approaches taken to balance freight elements in roadway designs where active transportation is planned or designed. Information will be gathered through a literature review, a survey of state DOTs, and follow-up interviews with selected agencies for the development of case examples. Information gaps and suggestions for research to address those gaps will be identified.
