Building Freight Professional Capacity in the 21st Century

Overview

Efficient freight movement is a fundamental underpinning of our nation's economic strength. Enabling transportation professionals to improve their skills and knowledge to fully integrate freight movement into our transportation system's development and operations is the objective of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Freight Professional Development (FPD) Program.

The FPD Program offers a broad range of professional capacity building opportunities including courses, workshops, seminars, and peer-to-peer exchanges. It provides access to information, resources, and tools that improve the understanding of how freight moves across our transportation network and how best to enable that movement while minimizing its impacts.

This brochure describes many of the options available in the FPD Program. Visit the FPD Web site at www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/fpd and begin to take advantage of the opportunities the FPD Program provides.
