The CTSW Study will produce findings on highway safety and truck crash frequency and severity, pavement and bridge infrastructure service life impacts, the cost and effectiveness of enforcement and implications for the national transportation system including the modal share of freight movements that would result if Federal truck size and weight limits were to change.<br \/>\nThe first Public Outreach Session will provide stakeholders an opportunity to share feedback on the approach and methods USDOT intends to use to complete the Study. The USDOT will also solicit comments on \u201calternative truck configurations\u201d to be evaluated in the Study.  The meeting, which is free and open to the public, will be held as an in-person workshop. Webinar access is available for those unable to attend in person.
