Beyond Traffic 2045

Mid-America Freight Coalition 

US DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx recently unveiled Beyond Traffic:

…a new forward-looking analysis from the U.S. Department of Transportation outlining  the trends that are likely to  shape the needs of our transportation system over the next three decades. Beyond Traffic is offered to the public as a draft to ignite a national conversation about the future of the U.S. transportation system and to objectively frame critical policy choices that need to be made. A final report will be released later in 2015 based on the ideas and public feedback generated by this analysis.

Secretary Fox devoted some attention to freight issues.
