In 2023, the North/West Passage funded the Freight Task Force to advance a TPIMS assessment. That effort
- Conducted best practice desk research.
- Engaged the seven North/West Passage states via two roundtable meetings and one-on-one consultations.
- Reached out to industry via an online survey to truck drivers and a consultation with the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) to obtain industry input on truck parking information needs and solutions.
- Consulted with The Eastern Transportation Coalition (TETC) to understand the truck parking information effort undertaken by the Coalition and inform the identification of best practices for other multi-state coalitions.
A TPIMS Assessment was published to the North/West Passage website in June 2023 (project 16.4) that outlined the opportunities, challenges, and critical next steps for the advancement of a multi-state TPIMS in the North/West Passage – which included the advancement of a multistate TPIMS grant application. It is expected that this project will require State DOT executive consent prior to advancing, as the grant will need letters of support and funding matches from each DOT to be considered.
Deliverables
- In progress
