Abstract:

Efficient, reliable, and safe freight transportation is critical to the economic prosperity of any region. An ; efficient multimodal and intermodal transportation system reduces transportation and supply chain transaction ; costs and increases connectivity, reliability, and accessibility to local and global markets. An efficient freight ; transportation system, therefore, supports economic development and the expansion of international trade, ; increases national employment and growth in personal income and the Gross Domestic Product of a region, and ; improves the quality of life of its citizens. Intermodal and freight concerns have thus received increasing ; attention in the wake of globalization, increasing congestion, and changes in the logistics structure of shippers to ; facilitate just-in-time production. Both the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 ; and the subsequent reauthorization of the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21) have ; identified an understanding of the needs of the freight transportation sector as a critical component of ; transportation planning.
