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 Primary Highway Freight System (PHFS) and Non-PHFS Interstates. This dataset provides an inventory of PHFS and Non-PHFS Interstates, reflecting the 2022 redesignation by FHWA. |
