Freight Policy Issues: National
Weak policy mandate to maintain and improve freight corridors and connectivity
Limited ability to trace the benefits, costs and risks of investment in freight corridors up the supply chain to the economy and jobs
No sustained program to finance freight projects of national and regional significance

Freight Policy Issues: State
Mismatch in scale between private sector and public sector planning and investment in freight transportation systems: the private sector thinks about multi-state markets and trade blocs; the public sector, about single jurisdictions
Dearth of freight transportation planning expertise within state DOTs and state economic development agencies

Freight Policy Issues: Metropolitan
Little data and less knowledge about urban goods movement
Increasing tension between the demand for more freight transportation to support population and economic growth and the demand for less freight transportation to support livable communities
