Book Description
The study was prepared under contract to the Federal Highway Administration Office of Freight Management and Operations for the purpose of helping to frame discussions for future federal program initiatives designed to promote freight productivity and safety. Current and past mechanisms are identified for funding and financing freight infrastructure development. Freight infrastructure is defined as port facilities, highways, bridges, highway access to ports/airports, cargo-handling facilities/equipment, warehouse construction, rail lines and rail spurs, and channel and berth dredging. A subset of freight infrastructure, intermodal infrastructure, is defined as the points of connection where freight is transferred between different modes, such as trucks, ships, rail, and airplanes.
