Mid-America Freight Coalition (MAFC) Phase 3
| 项目名称： | Mid-America Freight Coalition (MAFC) Phase 3 |
| 摘要： | The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking to lead a pooled fund that will: (1) produce freight-related research results, (2) improve cross-state freight-related coordination and facility development, (3) increase awareness of the importance of freight transportation for the nation’s economy. 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 ten-state region by keeping their products flowing to markets safely, reliably, and efficiently. Participation in this pooled fund presents an opportunity for agencies to support research on freight and economic development issues specific to the needs of transportation agencies, advance regional freight-related coordination, and ultimately allow for the quick implementation of research and development efforts. Products of previous iterations of the MAFC pooled fund have included: high-quality research reports; recently-published reports from TPF-5(293) have included an examination of the impact of Upper Mississippi River lock and dam shutdowns on state highway infrastructure, and the development of a potential regional regulatory approach to truck platooning; annual freight conferences attended by representatives of the ten states; recent conferences have run concurrent with the Ohio Conference on Freight and the Mid America Association of State Transportation Officials (MAASTO) Annual Meeting; educational seminars and training sessions conducted for state transportation officers; support to MAASTO state Freight Advisory Committees; direct support to MAASTO Planning and Motor Carrier Committees. 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. |
