The REIDI™ Model:
Boosting Regional Economic Growth through Industrial Development
Highroad Consulting, Ltd.’s REIDIT* model is a powerful tool for driving economic and industrial development projects based on integrated logistics. The acronym stands for Regional Economic and Industrial Development Initiative, and the model’s primary objective is to identify optimal locations for manufacturing plants, and multi-modal freight terminals, such as transloads and warehouses, in the region. By doing so, the model can help create jobs, reduce supply chain costs for existing industries, and enable those industries to access new markets.
With the U.S. Department of Transportation forecasting a 49% increase in freight volumes over the next three decades, now is the time to take action to address the impending capacity crunch. Highroad Consulting, Ltd.'s REIDI™ model can help shippers stay ahead of the curve by providing valuable insights into logistics mapping, infrastructure requirements, and strategic site selection.
Don't wait until it's too late to optimize your supply chain costs and stay competitive. Contact Highroad Consulting, Ltd. today to learn more about how the REIDI™ model can help drive your economic and industrial development efforts.

Expert Litigation Support:
Highroad's Track Record of Success
Highroad Consulting, Ltd. provides expert testimony and litigation support to shippers and carriers in court and before regulatory agencies such as the United States Surface Transportation Board (STB). Their experience in providing expert testimony has been invaluable in high-profile cases such as the STB hearing on railroad fuel charges. In this case, Highroad's white paper with cost evidence proved that railroads were over-recovering with their fuel surcharge programs, and their testimony on behalf of shippers helped lead to an STB decision that the surcharges were unreasonable. If you have a transportation litigation matter that requires expert support, contact Highroad Consulting, Ltd. today to learn more about our litigation support services.
