摘要：	In 1991, with the passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Act (ISTEA), the U.S. Congress established the objective to develop a national intermodal system to move people and goods efficiently. In the freight sector, exclusive truck roads, railroads, barges and pipelines are seen as part of the intermodal solution to divert truck traffic away from the highways to the benefit of both freight and passengers. Ten years after ISTEA, challenges and barriers in the freight sector remain. Public agencies are challenged with demonstrating and contrasting the benefits of multimodal investments with the benefits of traditional highway spending. This report summarizes the development and use of the Multimodal Analysis Freight Tool (MAFT) as a sketch planning tool to appraise multimodal freight investment alternatives.
