Much of the progress that has been made toward the development of an intermodal transporting system in the United States has been on the freight side, led largely by private sector initiatives. Conversely, progress toward developing an intermodal system on the passenger side in the United States has lagged. Much of this difference is due to the large role that the public sector plays in passenger transportation, particularly at the intracity scale, and the uneven development of passenger transportation systems in the United States, aside from the private automobile/public highway system. The lack of intermodal systemwide planning has limited the benefits that could be achieved through coordinating and connecting existing passenger systems. Private passenger transportation companies are starting to become interested in intermodalism, and are beginning to develop more innovative programs and plans to tap into the benefits of such an approach. A greater awareness and understanding of the benefits of intermodalism need to be realized. Collecting and organizing data on current intermodal policies, plans, programs, and projects initiated by both public and private sector organizations is critical. As a first step toward this goal, this paper identifies and assesses private sector initiatives among intercity passenger operators, with the purpose of identifying innovative practices.
