Abstract:

In view of the study’s main objective — to understand and document those factors and policies that have a significant impact on freight modal shares — a freight Delphi expert survey was administered to supplement the freight literature. Nine freight experts representing various public and private stakeholders responded to an invitation to participate in a one-day Freight Modal Competitiveness Workshop on April 27, 2004. Workshop participants were asked to provide insight on: (1) future freight flows in Texas, (2) the relative importance of factors influencing the shippers’ mode choice, (3) anticipated logistic trends influencing freight flows, (4) policies aimed at operational improvements or infrastructure provision, (5) technological developments influencing modal competitiveness, and (6) the potential of legislative measures to facilitate a shift in mode utilization. This document includes the workshop material and results of the freight expert survey administered.
