Seattle Transportation Plan (STP) - Freight Network of streets where freight and goods movement is a priority.

Freight street classifications highlight key elements of the street network serving freight vehicles. They cover functional classification, truck volumes, street types, design guidance, spatial characteristics, and more and are considered when designing streets or determining how to operate the system. Seattle’s Freight Master Plan (FMP; 2016) identified a Freight Network Classification that includes four designations based on truck volumes, land use connections, network connectivity, and roadway classifications.  

The freight network designations indicate key routes that trucks use to access the Port, key freight designations, and the regional highway system. Limited access facilities are connected to major truck streets and, to a lesser degree, by minor truck streets.  

First-/last-mile connectors are primarily accessed by major and minor truck streets and are located within the MICs. Trucks are permitted to operate on most streets in Seattle, whether or not they are designated as part of the freight network. 

In general, limited access facilities are accessed by major truck streets and, to a lesser degree, by minor truck streets. First-/last-mile connectors are primarily accessed by major and minor truck streets and are located in MICs.
