This synthesis describes the process by which state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) integrate freight planning into the surface transportation planning process. It will be of interest to state and MPO planners, port planners, traffic engineers, and trucking, rail, and shipping interests in both the public and private sectors. This report discusses the requirements for freight planning resulting from the intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), with particular emphasis on the development of an intermodal management system (IMS). This report describes the methods used by selected agencies for forecasting freight flows, data collection practices, and the techniques for integrating freight planning into the established surface transportation planning processes at the state and regional levels.
