Project 15.4
Commercial Vehicle Traveler Information Assessment
Many states operate traveler information systems focused on providing vehicles with relevant information within their own borders. Commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) require advance notice (often before they cross a state line) on parking availability, route closures and re-routing, construction activity, and emergency declarations, among other information.
This project aimed to increase awareness and collaboration between state agencies in the North/West Passage (NWP) to benefit trucking operations, with the objective to: Identify freight-relevant information needs and issues and propose a framework for improved sharing information across borders.
This assessment assessed available information and sources; identified information needs and issues; and proposed opportunities for information sharing across borders in the NWP.
