Disclaimer: The Framework includes a broad range of proposals from many diverse interests. The inclusion of proposed strategies, tactics, and activities in the Framework does not imply Department of Transportation endorsement or industry consensus.
DRAFT: November 23, 2009To bring together public and private stakeholders around a common vision, the U.S. Department of Transportation proposes this Framework for a National Freight Policy. The framework lays out a vision and objectives, then details strategies and tactics that the Department and its partners - both public and private sector - can pursue to achieve those objectives. To be credible and achievable, the framework requires input and buy-in from the broader freight sector, including both public and private sector interests. The Department has begun the process of soliciting such input, and DOT looks forward to working with its partners to further develop the framework over the coming months.
