This report summarizes the evaluation of truck route access between the National Highway System and 46 truck generating sites, including intermodal sites, throughout Kentucky (includes 81 routes and 800 miles of highway).

No significant difference in route ratings or other measures was found by geographic location. The different typography throughout the state …
