| Summary: | The main goal of NCFRP Project 44 was to "develop a handbook for public practitioners that describes the factors shippers and carriers consider when choosing freight modes and provides an analytical methodology for public practitioners to quantify the probability and outcomes of policy-induced model shifts". To achieve this goal, the research team undertook a major effort to secure access to the confidential Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) microdata--the most comprehensive freight dataset in the United States--to complement the CFS with confidential shipper data and modal data and to use state-of-the-art econometric modeling techniques. This significant research effort overcame some of the most significant challenges to the study of freight mode choice in the United States. |
