  15. National Freight Network • Primary freight network • Designated within one year • Based on inventory of freight volume • 27,000 centerline miles, existing roadways • 3,000 additional miles possible • Redesignation every 10 years • Other portions of the Interstate System • Critical rural freight corridors.

  16. States can partner to identify strategic needs • A way to share information on system use and traffic • Supply chains, regional trends, performance measures • A mechanism to work with regional agencies • Common message – generates common actions • An input into State planning • Data and economics • Freight Advisory Group agreement • Improved access to data and models • A benchmark for collaborating federal requests
