The economic effects of existing and prospective federal policies governing intercity and international freight and passenger transportation enterprises in the economy of the United States are evaluated. The analysis encompasses all modes of transportation, including rail, motor, water, air and intermodal coordinative institutions, and focuses upon the impact of alternative regulatory policies. Volume II includes: an introduction and overview; a discussion of Federal transportation policy; a scenario development; and three appendices: (1) government control of rates and entry in the rail and trucking industries; (2) government control of rates and entry in the air industry; and (3) entry, merger, and rate regulation in inland water, shipping, and pipeline transportation.
