Project Description
This White Paper presents recommendations for using information technology solutions to increase the efficiency of California's multimodal freight system. These recommendations resulted from a consensus based process by working group committee members. We address two problems: information problems in the goods movement supply chain, and information
problems in statewide trucking. Regarding the goods movement supply chain, we recommend the following strategies: 1) accelerate and expand the FRATIS program; 2) implement portswide appointment systems at the state's major ports; 3) develop and implement a transparent supply chain wide load tracking system. Regarding statewide trucking, we recommend the following strategies: 4) statewide smart parking system; 5) "push" freight information system; 6) statewide freight information platform; 7) border region ITS strategy; and 8) freight focused traffic management.
