Mid-America Freight Coalition-II
| 项目名称： | Mid-America Freight Coalition-II |
| 摘要： | The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking to lead a pooled fund that will produce freight research results, state freight development and multi-state coordination, and increase awareness of the importance of freight transportation. Ultimately, the results of the Mid-America Freight Coalition (MAFC) activities will support and develop the economic well-being of the industries, businesses, farms, and the people of the region by keeping their products flowing to markets reliably, safely, and efficiently. Products of the first generation of the MAFC include five freight transportation conferences with educational workshops and freight innovation components, the development of a regional freight policy response for two transportation authorization cycles, and completed projects in the areas of freight planning, truck parking, freight bottlenecks, commodity profiles, and freight performance measures. The MAFC's current efforts are focused on completing a regional freight study, and analyzing and responding to the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Centurty Act (MAP-21) freight initiatives while supporting the states in their response and adoption of MAP-21 components. Participation in this pooled fund presents an opportunity for agencies to support research on freight and economic development issues specific to the needs of Departments of Transportation (DOTs), advance regional freight coordination, and ultimately allow for the quick implementation of research and development efforts. Using the MAFC as a foundation, partner agencies will be able to take advantage of a wide range of expertise in truck, rail, waterway, air, and multimodal freight planning, research, management, and operations to assess and answer their regional freight research needs. |
