| 摘要： | The second freight conference geared toward Kentucky's public riverports included a focus on their emerging markets and how to take advantage of potential economic development opportunities. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet presented the Kentucky Summit on Economic Development Strategies to Leverage Kentucky Riverports and Freight Network virtually March 24-26. A third conference is planned within a few months. In a session titled "Forecasting the Future of Kentucky's Freight Economy," Paul Bingham, director of transportation consulting for IHS Markit, and Chandler Duncan, project manager for Metro Analytics, sought to provide information the ports can act upon. Bingham presented an economic forecast based on 2018 data, extending it to likely outcomes by 2045. He also included two alternative growth forecast scenarios, one more optimistic and one more pessimistic. He included waterborne freight as well as truck and rail freight in his calculations, as diverting truck and rail freight to the waterways system will be key. |
