RES2023-07: More Effective Use of Tennessee Waterways to Account for Competing Uses and Address Freight Congestion

项目名称：	RES2023-07: More Effective Use of Tennessee Waterways to Account for Competing Uses and Address Freight Congestion
摘要：	The United States inland waterways system (IWS) directly connects 28 states and plays a crucial role in the nation’s competitiveness and economic growth supporting efficient, safe, and sustainable transport for multiple commodities including agriculture, chemicals, and building materials. The state of Tennessee (TN) is one of the 12 states with the largest movements of freight via the inland waterways. Considering the economic impact and other benefits (e.g., safety, reduced environmental externalities and truck traffic) to the state and local communities, a closer look at the current IWS conditions, connectivity, operations, and redundancies is warranted. As a state, TN needs the tools and data to identify opportunities for federal funding and areas to invest (capital and operational) to take full advantage of the available capacity, increase efficiency, safety, and resiliency, and reduce externalities from freight movements in TN.
