The Value of Rail Intermodal to the U.S. Economy

Abstract

Maintaining that advantage in the face of an expected doubling in demand for freight transportation by the year 2020 will require significant investment in transportation capacity. Indeed, our transportation networks are already challenged in many areas by congested and decaying infrastructure. We must determine which future transportation infrastructure investments will generate the greatest economic and public benefits, and then make those investments. The alternative is declining economic productivity and a cap on the growth of our economy.
