The freight movements between and within urban areas are one of the fastest growing components of travel. Forecasters predict freight volumes will increase 70 percent by 2020 relative to 1998. That growth will occur across a multi-modal transportation system that is already experiencing congestion and reduced mobility. The Strategic Multimodal Analysis (SMA) project applies a multimodal approach to assessing and analyzing deficiencies in the freight transportation system and measuring the benefits of potential options for addressing them. The SMA project will improve the understanding of the impacts of freight bottlenecks to Interstate commerce and will develop a framework for estimating the impacts of improvements to the nation's multimodal transportation system. The SMA project will focus on highway, rail and water options for freight movement.
