Abstract:To be able to develop this plan with a capability of providing a level of planning and forecasting guidance, it is necessary to identify the type and value of waterborne commerce, thereby providing the focus for the analysis and documentation of the impact and importance of waterborne commerce on the state of Louisiana, its transportation system, and, as such, identify the regional and national level of returns on investment in the network. By implementing the Louisiana Waterways Analysis Tool Evaluating Regional Systems (LA WATERS) technical support platform, OMC is provided the basis for present and future analysis in support of identifying opportunities for alleviating multimodal bottlenecks relative to waterways. Finally, the compilation of research, analysis, and technical deliverables provide the basis for the draft Waterways Transportation Plan that can be streamlined into the Louisiana Statewide Transportation Plan.
