- W586496946 abstract "Merchandise trade between Canada, Mexico and the U.S. has increased greatly since the implementation of NAFTA. This has created increased demands on surface transportation systems. The surge in surface NAFTA based commodity movement via truck has enormous economic, social and infrastructure consequences. One possible alternative to trucking is intermodal transportation. This paper explores benefits of and barriers to truck-rail intermodal transportation as an alternative to movement by truck alone. The paper examines surface transborder export-import flows by types of commodities, origins and destinations, and modal movements to determine if the transportation infrastructure is being and will be utilized in an optimum manner. Substantial percentages of certain commodities are moved by rail, and some origin-destination movements are serviced by rail to a significant degree. The paper also looks at the potential for commodity adaptability to rail movement. Cost, service, and environmental considerations are integrated into the trade-offs. Less air pollution and congestion, fewer accidents, greater fuel efficiency, and lower freight rates are some of the potential benefits of increased utilization of intermodal transportation among the NAFTA countries. Among the barriers are: lack of adequate infrastructure, the merger moratorium, and shipper perceptions of cost/service characteristics of intermodal transportation." @default.
