The study underlying the report had the following objectives: (1) to assemble and present an organized body of information on intermodal coordination as used for intercity movements of freight; (2) to provide a preliminary assessment of coordination's efficiency potential and the requirements for achieving it; (3) to explore the extent to which the offering and acceptance of efficient coordinated services in freight transportation markets are conditioned by the transport system environment, behavioral patterns of decision makers (carriers, shippers, and freight forwarding 'intermediaries'), and the decision constraints imposed by Federal regulatory policies, labor attitudes, and the state of the arts in intermodal technology.
