Abstract:

The report examines sustainable supply chains in North America and the role played by rail intermodal

operations in lowering ten-mile fuel and emission costs. It examines whether current systems favor imports

over exports – a current complaint from some shippers – and whether the development of inland

intermodal ports offers a solution to moving future freight into and out of large metropolitan areas. The

work is the second of five inter-related UTCP studies examining key changes in intermodal freight

transportation in the United States at both national and state levels. It highlights the important role played

by rail operations in developing sustainable freight supply chains serving future export and import flows.

The major product of the work – a basic rail cost model – serves as a tool to sharpen current metropolitan

freight planning and is designed to be enhanced and calibrated by users to address more specific regional

issues such as multi-modal corridors.
