Innovative Freight Movement through Inland Multi-Use Ports: Estimating Public & Private Benefits
项目名称: Innovative Freight Movement through Inland Multi-Use Ports: Estimating Public & Private Benefits
摘要: The aim and purpose of this research effort is to develop an empirical approach that allows public transportation agencies to evaluate potential locations, value and benefits, from proposed inland port alternatives. Prior research has focused predominantly on the size/scale requirements to sustain economic viability, without adequately addressing how inland port terminals generate public benefits from improved freight efficiencies that shifts freight traffic away from congested urban highways and onto rail for import/export freight movements. These efficiency improvements span multiple commodities and supply-chain systems and potentially advancing new business opportunities. This innovative analysis framework may be applied nationwide as congested ports in urban areas face similar challenges providing safe, efficient and inclusive transportation that satisfies many states’ climate and equity policy goals.
