• Abstract:
  This study examined the importance of the U.S. 395 corridor area for local and regional commerce. The analysis focuses on the use and importance of the highway system for local and regional commerce. However, it is recognized that the highway system is only one component of an extensive intermodal network serving the area. In particular, regional commerce is closely linked to water transportation located at several Columbia River port facilities. The area is also served by Burlington Northern and Union Pacific railroads as well as regional airports in Pasco, Pendleton, and Walla Walla. Future regional highway needs will be heavily influenced by future development and use of these other modes of a full transportation system.
