摘要

The segment of U.S. Highway 395 extending north of Spokane to the Canadian Border is a primary freight route utilized by communities located in Spokane, Stevens, and Ferry Counties. This highway segment is also part of the larger transportation system enabling international trade between Canada and the United States. Canadian and U.S. trade includes freight as well as tourism, business travel, and shopping. A study of highway freight vehicle utilization of U.S. 395 north of Spokane was conducted as a supplement to the Eastern Washington Intermodal Transportation Study. The U.S. 395 study also includes an examination of passenger car flows across the international border between Canada and the United States. This report summarizes major results from the assessment of freight vehicle utilization of U.S. 395 north of Spokane and from a survey of passenger cars at the United States and Canadian borders.
