Abstract:The new Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century
Act (MAP-21), passed by the
U.S Senate and pending at
the U.S. House of Representatives, requests the national freight network to
“incorporate concepts of performance and accountability into the operation and
maintenance of the national freight network” and requires the U.S. Department
of Transportation (USDOT) and all states to “establish performance measures for
freight movement.” Currently, the major freight modes have diff erent metrics
that can be used to neither measure a freight network with multiple modes nor
select freight improvement projects from an intermodal perspective.
