The 'Great Lakes Maritime Research Information Clearinghouse' (GLMRIC) is a web-based system devoted to the acquisition, storage, management, analysis and exchange of data between analysts, decision makers, and related stakeholders in the Great Lakes Region. The system, still under development, is envisioned to serve as a resource for market research, public policy decision analysis, and economic development. It is designed to serve as a resource for drawing the link between maritime freight movements, economic viability, and environmental quality throughout the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway. This project is one component of a wider long-term effort to develop and manage this comprehensive data repository and information clearinghouse for intermodal transportation throughout the Great Lakes Region. This report documents this project in terms of goals and objectives for the data repository, development of market research tools, and the delivery of information on the project web site. |
