| 摘要： | A newly released study shows the amount and direction of waterborne freight in Illinois and helps to quantify its economic impact as well as giving recommendations for how the state can better invest to promote economic development. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) finalized the Illinois Marine Transportation System (IMTS) Plan and Economic Impact Analysis Study and published it on its website in March after a two-year study period. The 202-page plan includes a profile of each of the state's 19 public port districts as well as eight key recommendations for moving forward. The plan found the marine transportation industry supports 166,000 jobs in Illinois and contributes $36 billion to the states economy, accounting for 4 percent of Illinois' gross state product. One of the plan's purposes was to help IDOT integrate the waterway system into the state's overall multimodal transportation network. |
