Description: Trucks are responsible for the majority of freight moved in Rhode Island when measuring shipments by either weight or value. Additionally, the great majority of goods even if traveling by other modes, are ultimately taken by truck for final delivery to the point of sale. Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), and directed the FHWA Administrator to establish a National Highway Freight Network (NHFN) to strategically direct Federal resources and policies toward improved performance of highway portions of the U.S. freight transportation system. Note – The Freight Corridors PHFSN data layer includes the Primary Highway Freight System Network and Intermodal Freight Connections. The Freight Corridors Critical data layer includes the Critical Urban Freight Corridors, the Critical Rural Freight Corridors, and Interstate not on the PFHS Corridors. Primary Highway Freight System Network Most critical portions of the United States freight transportation system. This is a network of highways identified as the most critical highway portions of the U.S. freight transportation system determined by measurable and objective national data. The network consists of 41,518 centerlines miles, including 37,436 centerline miles of Interstate and 4,082 centerline miles of non-Interstate roads. In Rhode Island, the Primary Highway Freight System consists of the entire segment of Interstate 95 as well as the Intermodal Connections of Route 403, Route 4 and Route 37 which connect Interstate 95 to the Port of Davisville and T.F. Green Airport. Intermodal Freight Connections Public roads that provide access between major intermodal facilities and the other four subsystems that make up the National Highway System Critical Urban Freight Corridors Public roads in Urbanized areas which provide access and connection to the PHFS and the Interstate with ports, public transportation facilities and other internodal facilities. A public road designated as a Critical Urban Freight Corridor must be in an urbanized area, regardless of whether the population is above or below 500,000 individuals, and meet one or more of the following four elements: Connects an intermodal facility to: The PFHS; The Interstate System; or An Intermodal freight facility Is located within a corridor or a route on the PFHS and provides an alternative highway option important to goods movement; Serves a major freight generator; logistic center, or manufacturing and warehouse industrial land; or Is important to the movement of freight within the region, as determined by the MPO or State. Critical Rural Freight Corridors Public roads not in an urbanized area which provide access and connection to the PHFS and the Interstate with other important ports, public transportation facilities, or other intermodal freight facilities. A state may designate a public road within the borders of the State as a Critical Rural Freight Corridor if the public road is not in an urbanized area and meets one or more of the following seven elements: is a rural principal arterial roadway and has a minimum of 25 percent of the annual average daily traffic of the road measured in passenger vehicle equivalent units from trucks (Federal Highway Administration vehicle class 8 to 13); provides access to energy exploration, development, installation, or production areas; connects the PHFS or the Interstate System to facilities that handle more than: 50,000 20-foot equivalent units per year; or 500,000 tons per year of bulk commodities; provides access to: a grain elevator; an agricultural facility; a mining facility; a forestry facility; or an intermodal facility; connects to an international port of entry; provides access to significant air, rail, water, or other freight facilities in the State; or is determined by the State to be vital to improving the efficient movement of freight of importance to the economy of the State.
