| 摘要： | America's freight transportation gateways-seaports, airports, and land border crossings-are vital for U.S. economic growth and international competitiveness. They are the entry and exit points for merchandise trade between the United States and countries around the world. The gateways and the accompanying shipping, railroad, highway, and aviation systems link the U.S. population, economic sectors, and businesses to the global marketplace. Each year, U.S. businesses, farms, manufacturers, and households depend on these transportation facilities to move large quantities of goods. When freight gateways do not work well-because of delays, traffic congestion, or service problems-the timely flow of goods can be impeded, causing economic loss to shippers, carriers, and households. When gateways work well, however, U.S. businesses thrive and trade with partners around the world, and American households enjoy access to a wide variety of imported goods. The report is an update of a report released in 2004 by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration. This current report is a data profile of the nation's leading international freight transportation gateways in 2008 and presents summary trend data from 1990. It is a collection of information that highlights the top 25 freight gateways, providing the most recent annual information on the movement of goods through these seaports, airports, and land border crossings. / Supplementary Notes: See also PB2005-103296.
