Description:

The objective of this report is to provide an industry context for public officials who are interested in rail short haul intermodal corridors and to offer a template for analyzing related costs and benefits. Public agency analysis and investment in short haul corridors present a fundamentally new sort of challenge for public sector transportation planners. Therefore the background material and the case studies open the door to a number of short haul intermodal issues, which are subject to an increasing level of state and local attention. Not only are rail intermodal issues producing state and local impacts but state and local responses will produce impacts on the nation's future freight capacity. Four major themes are developed in this study. They are (1) freight volumes and system congestion are growing and concentrating; (2) public and private partnerships for corridor solutions are needed; (3) economic, social and environmental costs need to be part of a corridor analysis, and (4) new planning tools for corridor capacity development are needed.
