Abstract

This report analyzes the driving forces behind high-impact economic and social changes as well as sourcing patterns that may affect the U.S. freight transportation system. The report also introduces scenario planning as a tool that can be used in conjunction with other planning methods to improve the quality of long-range transportation infrastructure planning. Four future scenarios were developed as part of the project that created NCHRP Report 750, as well as a detailed methodology that planners can follow to conduct their own scenario planning workshops. The DVDs are available for download from TRB’s website as ISO images at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_rpt_750v1Data.iso and http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_rpt_750v1Videos.iso A detailed discussion of the driving forces analyzed in NCHRP Report 750, Volume 1 is contained in NCHRP Web-Only Document 195: Driving forces influencing future freight flows at http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/168695.aspx (Author/publisher)
