摘要：	Speakers at the Ohio Conference on Freight's session titled "Economic Equity and River Freight Vulnerabilities" sought to find ways to help the river industry grow into the future. The session was part of the two-day virtual conference May 20-21. It was hosted by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and included aspects of maritime, rail and trucking industries as well as logistics and supply chain issues that unite them. Session moderator Sam Wallace noted that it is especially important to preserve and protect access to the inland waterways system. The first speaker, Sara Walfoort, is manager of freight planning for the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission. She spoke about the river system's history and characteristics, including its locks and dams. "This is the river system that made America, and it continues to do so," she said. "The story of our rivers is really the story of our locks." It is very important not only for locks to be well maintained but also that they have operational schedules that allow regular use without a wait, which can help to drive economic development, she said.
