The report has considered waterway user charges, which have been proposed as a method of cost recovery of Federal expenditures. The report has examined possible modal carrier and traffic impacts due to user charges on the inland river system, and potential differential effects of various cost recovery options. This volume describes the detailed analyses performed to determine the potential impacts of inland waterway cost recovery on waterway traffic and markets. Each chapter describes the distribution system for a particular commodity/industry group and estimates the impact of cost recovery tolls on barge traffic by evaluating potential changes in transportation mode, routing, materials' source, and production technologies.
