Smart Growth America (SGA) will conduct training for the Hawaii Department of Transportation in December 2016. UW researchers are supporting SGA and other instructors in refining the training objectives, preparing presentation materials related to freight and logistics, and leading on-site training and policy review specific to operations and logistics. After the training they will follow up with SGA staff to identify barriers to high quality planning for freight transportation and to engagement of the freight community, and they will provide feedback on an action plan to the Hawaii DOT that identifies ways to remove those identified barriers.
