• Abstract:
  This report has been prepared by the Maritime Transportation System National Advisory Council (MTSNAC) for the Secretary of Transportation. The findings and recommendations in this report are based on data extracted from reports and studies previously undertaken by both the public and private sectors over the past four years. As challenges facing the U.S. intermodal transportation system are well documented, we have relied upon existing studies, which have already articulated various valuable proposals regarding a national freight policy, and have outlined specific initiatives to address the system’s capacity shortfall now and in the future. The MTSNAC was first established as the private sector counterpart to the U.S. Committee on the Marine Transportation System. In 2010, the charter was modified to address those maritime issues specific to the Maritime Administration.
