This survey seeks to gather information from truck drivers about their experience with Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Traveler Information provided by states in the North/West Passage (NWP). The NWP Coalition will use this information to inform a CMV Traveler Information Assessment, which will identify freight-relevant information needs and issues in the multi-state region, and propose a framework for improved information sharing across borders.
We encourage submission of responses by Friday, June 25, 2021. Please direct any questions to Julia Thompson at jthompson@cpcstrans.com.
The North/West Passage (NWP) includes seven states: Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Interstates 90 and 94 function as major corridors for commercial and recreational travel through these states, which face similar transportation issues related to traffic management, traveler information, and commercial vehicle operations. The NWP established itself as a Transportation Pooled Fund in 2003 through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) with the vision to focus on developing effective methods for sharing, coordinating, and integrating traveler information and operational activities across state and provincial borders.
