Electronic Freight Management Website

 The Electronic Freight Management Initiative aims to improve efficiency and productivity of the transportation system through the implementation of a common electronic freight framework. If successfully implemented nationwide, this new electronic manifest could have the effect of entirely eliminating paper from the goods tracking system. The initiative will test the concept first at the truck-air freight interface, and then move on to other modal interfaces, such as truck-truck, truck-rail, rail-sea, and truck-sea. This website presents the goal, background, approach, milestones, and points-of-contact for the initiative.
