      abstract = {The safe and efficient movement of goods is essential for  the economic development of a region. In Costa Rica,  similar to other Central American countries, the  Pan-American Corridor (i.e., the Pan-American highway and  major connecting links) plays a key role in the movement of  freight into, out of, and through the country. Like the  rest of the world, Cost Rica faces large economic, social,  and environmental pressures to create a more sustainable  and livable place for its people and businesses. The  productivity, safety, and efficiency of the trucking sector  and its highways are fundamental to achievement of this  goal. This paper has three objectives: (1) characterize the  transportation operations and system in Costa Rica as they  relate to trucks, (2) determine trucking activity in terms  of truck and trade flows, and (3) identify demand-related  developments to determine their likely impact on truck  flows and characteristics in the region.},
