| 摘要： | Looking ahead to the future, the economic influences of the quickly emerging global economy will reshape the way Appalachia interacts with its partners and competitors, whether across the street or around the world. Economic competition and opportunity no longer transcend state or regional lines, but now extend to the farthest points on the globe. This is a complex and demanding new economy that has been born of advanced information and communication technology and an extensive and highly refined global supply chain. The effect of globalization on the transportation system is profound, as cargo volumes are rapidly expanding and broadly diversifying. This study analyzes the changing characteristics of commodity movements to, from, and through the Region, evaluates both the transportation strengths and weaknesses that Appalachia faces in adapting to such change, and establishes a strategic and proactive vision to help the Region compete in the global economy of the 21st century. |
