| 摘要： | The Federal Highway Administration estimates that more than 15 billion tons of goods, worth more than $9 trillion, were transported in the United States in 1998. This translates into 310 pounds of freight moved daily for each U.S. resident. Much of this freight moves on facilities that state and local governments are charged with constructing, maintaining, operating, funding, or regulating. Indeed, since deregulation in the 1980s, the efficient, safe, and secure transport of freight has become as much a state and local concern as a national concern. Prior to the 1970s, nearly all interstate transportation was subject to Federal government economic regulation. Tariffs, routes, frequencies, and other characteristics were decided in Washington, D.C., and consequently there was little need to plan for or forecast changes in the interstate transportation of freight. With the passage of the Aviation Deregulation Act of 1978, the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, the Staggers Rail Act of 1980, and the Ocean Shipping Act of 1984, the industry was deregulated. Today, supply and demand for freight transportation is determined by the carriers themselves and by market forces; consequently, forecasts of freight movements have became both necessary and more difficult to prepare. Recognizing this changing situation, Federal planning legislation and regulations now mandate that state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations give due consideration to the needs of freight when planning and programming transportation investments. However, while state and local agencies have developed considerable capabilities for forecasting the movement of people, many have not devoted the same attention to the movement of goods. |
