Velez2 The Trans-Pacific Multimodal Corridor Model Project Preamble “Improving freight intermodal seamlessness will increase the efficiency of the railroads and will help to alleviate highway congestion, which will reduce the pressure to build more highways. The coastal ports and waterways must also be upgraded – with ample capacity and redundancy – to faciliate trade in the 21 st century global economy.” Excerpt from “A New Transportation Agenda for America” by the NCIT – National Center for Intermodal Transportation – November 2001.
