This report describes a structured process for information and data collection, analysis, and evaluation of alternative strategies to support strategic and policy decision-making on intermodal issues by transportation officials at the state and metropolitan level in Massachusetts. It builds upon requirements in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). The report describes structuring a work plan to evolve such a system, evolving of needed technical teams and coordinating committees, developing advisory councils to foster private sector involvement and input, and establishing needed 'issue-based data' to focus the effort. Particular emphasis is placed on intermodal freight issues, data, and implications. From a methodological standpoint, the document highlights freight forecasting and urban goods models which are needed for such an approach.
