The proposed study is a two-phase investigation designed to facilitate the planning of the intermodal infrastructure improvements in a 19 county region of north western West Virginia. The counties to be studied will be: Barbour, Braxton, Brooke, Calhoun, Gilmer, Hancock, Harrison, Lewis, Marion, Marshall, Monogolia, Ohio, Pleasents, Preston, Ritchie, Taylor, Tyler, Wetzel and Wirt. The investigation will gather information describing commodity flows to and from the study region, assess the current costs of the transportation services that facilitate these flows, and identify intermodal infrastructure improvements that could measurably reduce these costs, thereby enhancing the competitive position of the region. / NOTE:Final rept. |
