• Abstract:
  Trade growth between the United States and China has increased U.S. interest in how the Chinese ; transportation system handles exports. The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State ; Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a ; scanning study to identify how China provides intermodal access to its ports and uses investment strategies ; to foster freight mobility and intermodal connectivity. ; The scan team learned that China’s national, provincial, and metropolitan transportation policy is closely ; coordinated with the country’s economic policy and social harmony goals. The transportation system is ; expanding rapidly to meet global intermodal freight demands and promote expansion into underdeveloped ; regions of the country. ; Team recommendations for U.S. implementation include reviving a national transportation infrastructure ; focus to maintain U.S. competitiveness in the global market, conducting a study on how China uses ; performance measures to manage transportation policy, and synthesizing the results of this and earlier ; scans on intermodal freight and connectivity around the world.
