Primary Highway Freight System (Georgia and Select States)

This layer was developed for the 2024 Atlanta Regional Freight Mobility Plan (2024 ARFMP) and published by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). This layer shows the Primary Highway Freight System (PHFS), which is a subset of the National Highway Freight Network (NHFN). The Primary Highway Freight System (PHFS) is a network of highways identified as the most critical highway portions of the U.S. freight transportation system. The NHFN is a federally designated system of highways critical to the movement of freight in the United States, including the PHFS, other Interstate highways not on the PHFS, critical rural and urban freight corridors, and connectors to freight facilities. The 2024 ARC Freight Dashboard serves as a tool for regional community & freight leaders to maintain and improve competitiveness and economic growth in the region. This dashboard serves as a summation of data collected for the 2024 Atlanta Regional Freight Mobility Plan, a plan where the ARC collaborated with local governments and transportation agencies in the 20-county Atlanta region to identify priorities for freight in the region.
