This report describes one of three independent but complementary studies of future freight traffic on the Ohio River Basin Navigation System. Each of the studies considers existing waterborne commerce and develops a consistent set of projections of future traffic demands of all of the navigable waterways of the basin. Each report contains information on past and present waterborne commerce in the basin and projections by commodity group and origin-destination areas from 1975 to at least 1990. This report and the 1975-1990 projected traffic demands discussed in it were developed by correlating the historic waterborne commodity flows on the Ohio River Navigation System with various indicators of regional and national demands for the commodities. The demand variable (s) which appeared to best describe the historic traffic pattern for each of the commodity groups was selected for projection purposes. The historic and projected values for the demand variables are based upon the 1972 OBERS Series E Projections of National and Regional Economic Activity.
