Toward a national intermodal transportation system. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6685112
This document is the final report of a Commission established by Section 5005 for the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The Act directed the Commission to recommend ways to speed national conversion to an efficient intermodal transportation system, and identify the resources necessary to do it. The Commission focused its inquiries on the status of the existing intermodal system; legal, regulatory, and institutional issues; funding and financial questions; and technology and research issues. The report emphasizes that not all intermodal transportation problems require Federal solutions. It suggests that Federal policy should support private sector innovation, provide maximum flexibility for State and local transportation officials, and not intrude unnecessarily into private sector operations.
