| 摘要： | The widely discussed Panama Canal Expansion is expected to be completed by 2015. This expansion will most likely increase the volume of freight passing through the Port of Gulfport due to its strategic location and close relation with the Panama Canal Authority. In 2011, Governor Haley Barbour supported creating a large transportation hub in South Mississippi to handle the above mentioned increase in container traffic generated by a $1 billion expansion of the Port of Gulfport. The proposed intermodal facility would help the massive State Port at Gulfport project that, if built out to plans, will have the annual potential to move over one million containers through Mississippi. The current annual container volume is around 200,000 containers. With this forecasted increase in container volume, an inland port can help relieve congestion at the Gulfport facility, efficiently stage containers for distribution, and reduce truck traffic in potential environmental non-attainment areas near the coast. Intermodal facilities and inland ports such as the one being proposed for South Mississippi have the potential to positively impact the Triple-Bottom Line (Environment, Economic Prosperity and Social Well-Being) of the State of Mississippi and the Gulf Region. The Triple-Bottom Line (TBL) approach of valuing people, planet, and profit is gaining popularity as an approach for leading organizations to make investment decisions. When applying the triple-bottom line to transportation infrastructure the three distinct, but linked outcomes of the investment are commonly measured by increased freight velocity (efficiency), improved air quality and reduced traffic congestions (environment), and economic development and safety (equity). |
