Contemporary concepts in freight handling are incorporated in a freight center designed to provide, for a large region, an efficient and effective interface with the domestic and international commodity trade markkets. Such a center, referred to as a Regional Cargo Transportation Facilitation Center (RCTFC), would provide efficiencies through such means as increased freight aggregation into unit trains and multiple trailers, integration of the inland waterways into a total freight system, and dedicated facilities to increase all-cargo flights to distant markets. This study establishes the definition of the RCTFC and develops the unique characteristics of the concept on functional, technological and institutional levels. Based on existing and projected freight activity, a nationwide network of five RCTFCs is described. One location is identified as a potential site for a stand-alone demonstration project, and is evaluated for the feasibility of such a project. Finally the RCTFC network is studied for its impact on the existing system of freight transport.
