description Transportation planners use a variety of techniques to encourage citizen participation. With the growing need to include the perspectives of freight community members in planning, special attention is needed to develop an efficient and effective way to facilitate this critical exchange of information. Deteriorating pavements, bridges, poor roadway geometry, and congestion, could potentially impede the movement of freight. Members of the freight community best understand the impact of these problems on their "day-to-day" freight operations. In order to establish the most effective means of gathering perceptions of infrastructure problems, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) sponsored research on a methodology for conducting surveys of shippers and motor carriers. A series of pilot studies resulted in the development of a telephone survey methodology capable of yielding a 60% response rate. A statewide survey (a sample of nearly 3,600 firms) achieved a 61% response rate and produced more than 2,200 problem descriptions, locations, and perceptions of the impact being caused by these problems.
