Description: "This study focuses discussion on the definition and characteristics of freight, the importance of freight transportation, and federal freight policies and regulations, and examines freight planning documents from surrounding states and provinces and other state freight plans. In addition, the study analyzes freight flows and volumes, major freight generators, shipper preferences, and modal split of freight shipments. The study also identifies freight corridors at different levels, discusses roles and responsibilities for freight system key players, examines impediments and capacity constraints facing North Dakota's current freight system, and outlines potential obstacles to North Dakota's freight movements in regard to safety and security. The information in this report is Phase I of a three-phase study, which provides for identification and discussion of North Dakota's direction for state freight planning, important freight gateways, and relationships that are instrumental in the state's economic productivity."--Executive summary.
