The National Highway Freight Network (NHFN) was established under the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) to direct federal resources toward improving the performance of highway portions of the U.S. freight transportation system. Part of the NHFN network includes Critical Urban and Rural Freight Corridors. This GIS data provides an inventory of these corridors in Washington, reflecting the most current designation adopted in the 2022 Washington State Freight System Plan. |
