The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has published a four-year review outlining efforts to strengthen the nation’s transportation supply chains.

 

The review forms part of the White House’s 2021-2024 Quadrennial Supply Chain Review (QSCR), which assesses progress in enhancing supply chain resilience.

The review highlights changes to US supply chains since January 2021, when Covid-19-related disruptions and longstanding underinvestment impacted operations.

 

Under the direction of secretary Pete Buttigieg, the US DOT has worked to ease freight congestion, improve multimodal connectivity and upgrade transport infrastructure.

 

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has contributed funding for port, rail, and highway improvements, along with expanded truck parking facilities.

 

According to the review, the establishment of the Office of Multimodal Freight Infrastructure and Policy, also referred to as the Multimodal Freight Office, has supported supply chain efficiency.

 

The office’s Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) programme has facilitated data sharing between freight carriers, cargo owners, logistics providers, port operators and trade associations. Read more
