Specifically, GAO (1) examined recent trends in intermodal rail transportation, (2) assessed the prospects for more intermodal cooperation between the rail and trucking industries, (3) identified problems that limit the effectiveness and benefits of intermodal transportation, and (4) considered whether any federal initiatives might be helpful in encouraging intermodal cooperation.

This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intermodal transportation service can increase efficiency through the combined use of different modes of transportation. Piggyback, the transportation of truck trailers and containers on rail flatcars, is one example of this service and offers the advantages of both truck and rail, including energy savings. During the last decade, there has been some growth in piggyback, but it accounted for only 5.9 percent of total domestic rail freight car loadings in 1976. Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) officials believe that railroads do not promote piggyback as much as they could because they do not want traffic diverted from boxcars which have at least a 40-year lifespan. Shippers are discouraged from using piggyback because of slower delivery times, unattractive rates, and losses and damage in shipment. Problems faced by railroads in providing the service stem from basic differences between rail and truck services and the inflexibility of rail operations. Restrictions imposed by ICC have also discouraged piggyback growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed developments in intermodal freight transportation and its potential to relieve the nation's highways of some of the freight burden, focusing on: (1) the prospect of greater cooperation between the rail and trucking industries; and (2) challenges that the industries must overcome if the nation is to fully realize the potential benefits of intermodal freight transportation. GAO found that: (1) previous problems with cargo damage were significantly reduced by improved track and new types of intermodal railcars; (2) large truckload companies have recently seen advantages in using intermodal service, such as cost savings on long hauls, handling more volume with existing tractor and driver fleets, and reducing driver turnover; (3) truck traffic to and from intermodal terminals is adding to urban congestion in some major metropolitan areas; (4) intermodal service has had limited impact on highway traffic in the eastern United States because cities are close to each other; (5) the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Office of Intermodalism could play a useful role in helping industry and local government officials to agree on plans and funding to solve intermodal transportation problems in major urban areas; (6) The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) permits greater flexibility in using trust funds and emphasizes the need for intermodal planning in solving transportation problems; and (7) none of the ISTEA major funding sections specifically authorize the use of trust funds for intermodal freight facilities.
