The enactment of significant inland waterway user charges to recover Federal investments for waterway navigation purposes will have important short and long term impacts on producers, shippers, carriers and others engaged in transportation on the inland waterways. The results of a detailed economic analysis prepared at the direction of Congress are summarized in this report. The potential impacts through the year 2000 are discussed including an examination of various tax and fee mechanisms, regional economic impacts and the potential response of the railroads. The discussion includes a section on major commodity groups which are shipped by water.
