      abstract = {Freight traffic on the U.S transportation system is  growing rapidly, fueled by growing international trade and  modern manufacturing and distribution supply chain  practices such as just-in-time delivery. The Federal  Highway Administration (FHWA) forecasts that freight  tonnage will almost double between 2002 and 2035. This  translates into comparable increases in truck traffic,  which has been growing at a faster rate than that of all  other classes of highway vehicles since about 1995.  Improved and coordinated land use and transportation  planning have been posited as the ultimate solution to  urban traffic congestion, but would such measures be  effective in reducing truck traffic? What relationship, if  any, currently exists between land use, urban form, and  freight and commercial vehicle miles of traveled (VMT) in  metropolitan areas? This paper investigates what is  currently known about this relationship, and concludes with  a proposed research plan for resolving the outstanding  issues.},
