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.
