摘要：	This report is presented in two parts: a Fact Sheet and a report on Federal Aid Eligibility. The purpose of the Intermodal Freight Fact Sheet is to provide policymakers, planners, carriers, shippers and other interested parties with information that will create a better understanding of intermodal transportation and demonstrate the potential contribution of intermodalism to efficient freight transportation in the United States. The Fact Sheet is organized as follows: Introduction; Definition; History of Modern Intermodalism; Technology and Infrastructure; Benefits; Recent Trends; Current Issues; Financing for Intermodal Facilities and Projects; Examples of Intermodal Projects; The Future of Intermodal Transportation; and Selected Sources of Information. The report on Federal Aid Eligibility examines support for facilities serving intermodal freight movements provided by Federal highway programs. Its purpose is to examine the expanding eligibility for Federal aid of intermodal freight projects. The "Background" section provides general background on Federal policy and how/why intermodal freight projects are generally eligible but may encounter impediments in obtaining support. A brief summary of "Intermodal Planning and Management" outlines the new processes in place under Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). The primary section examines "Intermodal Project Eligibility" for each of the major Federal highway program categories. For each program, eligibility criteria are outlined and numerous examples of ongoing freight-oriented intermodal projects are provided, with specific attention to how they were qualified and funded.
