Description: "NCFRP Report 21: Handbook on Applying Environmental Benchmarking in Freight Transportation  identifies and evaluates approaches that can be used by public and private entities  to estimate, monitor, and reduce freight emissions and impacts across the supply chain by  examining how benchmarking can be used as a management tool in the freight and logistics  industry to promote environmental performance. The handbook provides a step-by-step  overview of the benchmarking process and describes a framework for applying this process  to freight carriers, shippers, and freight hubs"--Foreword.
