Book The Potential for Improving Rail International Intermodal Services in Texas and the Southwest Region of the United States

Download or read book The Potential for Improving Rail International Intermodal Services in Texas and the Southwest Region of the United States written by Robert Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report covers a period of great significance for railroading in the U.S as it contains a number of milestones now shaping the future performance of the industry. The specific subject is improving intermodal service so that it can support state and regional highway planning, now facing severe financial cut-backs as revenue sources become fully committed to bond servicing, user taxes, loose purchasing power and fuel consumption begins to fall. Intermodal traffic grew strongly in the period 1995 - 2007 and UP and BNSF trans-continental routes were improved largely on the back of intermodal demand. Alliances with larger trucking companies strengthened and transportation officials began to ask whether rail could take some of the predicted freight off key highway corridors. This report addresses elements of this question, more especially as it relates to intermodal traffic in Texas and the Southwest. The report comprises the following sections. Chapter 2 considers the changes in rail freight since the Staggers Act, Chapter 3 evaluates Class 1 intermodal service, and Chapter 4 identifies the major trade corridors serving Texas and the Southern region of the U.S. Chapter 5 describes rail bottlenecks on the state rail system that might impact future intermodal growth, and Chapter 6 concludes by examining the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to rail intermodal service in Texas and the Southern region over the next decade.

Book Enhancing Intermodal Service Through Public private Partnerships in Texas

Download or read book Enhancing Intermodal Service Through Public private Partnerships in Texas written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing levels of truck traffic on the State's highway system are creating an array of issues for the Texas Department of Transportation ranging from highway safety, congestion, and air quality, to the need for accelerated maintenance and capacity expansion. With trade in Texas projected to continue to increase, the pressure to explore alternatives to highway-borne freight is building. At the same time, railroads are facing challenges of their own. As a capital- and labor-intensive industry, railroads are struggling to earn the cost of capital to maintain and operate their extensive networks. As a mode that excels at long-haul intercity freight, but loses to trucking in shorter-haul movements, railroads are in need of services and capital to help gain back lost market share and compete in short-haul markets. The opportunity for establishing a win-win scenario is apparent: by improving the efficiency of intermodal rail service through targeted public-private partnerships, rail transportation may capture a larger market share of intercity freight in Texas and allow important public benefits to accrue - thereby justifying the investment. This report provides an important step in synchronizing public and private transportation planning and financing processes that mostly operate in isolation from one another to the growing disadvantage of each. A truly exciting finding is that both the public sector and the railroads are increasingly receptive to the idea of collaboration and are searching for mutually beneficial solutions to transportation problems.

Book Preparing Texas Freight Transportation System for 2055

Download or read book Preparing Texas Freight Transportation System for 2055 written by Jolanda Prozzi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficient, reliable, and safe freight transportation is critical to the economic prosperity of any region. An efficient multimodal and intermodal transportation system reduces transportation and supply chain transaction costs and increases connectivity, mobility, reliability, and accessibility to local and global markets. An efficient freight transportation system, therefore, supports economic development, expansion of international trade, increased employment, growth in personal income, and growth of the gross domestic product of a region—ultimately improving the quality of life of its citizens. This research documents major trends (i.e., global trade, sociodemographic, environmental, and technology trends) that could impact the future business models of Texas’ companies; identifies and discuss factors that influence companies’ site selection decisions and explores how Texas ranks compared to other states; discusses changing business models and the associated impacts on and expectations for a future freight transportation system, and provides insight into the foreseen role for the Texas Department of Transportation in planning for an efficient, reliable, and safe freight transportation system in 2055 that supports the growth of industry and ultimately the Texas economy. This research document is a companion to Report 0-6809-2 that explores international rail traffic increases and their potential impacts on Texas rail planning needs.
