The truck freight economic corridor designation is built upon Freight and Goods Transportation System (FGTS) tonnage classification and takes into account freight system resiliency and first/last mile connectivity to freight land uses and facilities. A truck freight economic corridor designation helps understand how freight connectors are being used by industry, and informs future planning efforts to identify the needs and opportunities for improving those connectors. This designation includes three components: 1) High volume truck corridors: T-1 and T-2 freight corridors that are defined in the FGTS as carrying at least four million tons of gross truck tonnage per year; 2) Alternative freight routes: routes that serve as alternatives to primary cross-state freight routes during severe weather or other disruptions to increase freight system resiliency; 3) First/last mile connector routes: truck routes that connect freight-intensive land uses to T-1 and T-2 freight corridors, and alternative freight routes. First/last mile connectors provide important freight linkages to strategic national defense facilities, significant intermodal facilities, warehouse districts, industrial land and distribution centers, and agricultural processing centers, and the National Highway Freight Network.
