North/West Passage has supported a Freight Task Force (FTF) for ten years, where the task force intends to enhance North/West Passage activities and build a freight community. Key activities have included:
- Conducted informational web meetings on topics of interest to the NWP members.
- Identified truck parking opportunities to best fit NWP needs.
- Conducted topic-specific assessments to document existing conditions, assess needs and issues, and identify opportunities for the NWP. Topics of focus have included CMV traveler information, e-screening, and oversize/overweight movement.
- Assessed truck drivers’ hours-of-service
- Examined how federal Hours‑of‑Service constraints affect driver behavior and increase demand for safe, reliable truck parking across the North/West Passage corridor.
Assessed how North/West Passage states share information and coordinate during winter weather closures, identifying gaps and opportunities to improve cross‑state communication, consistency, and support for freight mobility during severe conditions.
