10. Needs Versus Expenditure Trends

11. Funding Increase Make the Case for……… This will not work without.... Freight Specific Comprehensive Congestion Management Plan

12. Does it make sense? Freight Targeted Approach

13. Impact of Freight on Congestion - 2025 Without Freight WithFreight

14. Comprehensive Congestion Management Plan Where Feasible Add More Lanes Corridor-wide ITS/CVO Traditional DOT Strategies Where Makes Sense Truck/Auto Separation Urban Bypass Truck Productivity Potential DOT Freight Strategies PLUS Entire Corridor Rail Intermodal Development Gulf States Barge Service Development

19. Lessons from the I-10 study The Interstate Highway System’s capacity for inter-regional goods movement and travel is vital to the nation’s economic health. The Interstate Highway System’s capacity for inter-regional goods movement and travel is vital to the nation’s economic health. Grow the Pie Grow the Pie Analysis of mobility demands and ways to meet those demands, clearly indicate a need for increasing Analysis of mobility demands and ways to meet those demands, clearly indicate a need for increasing maintenance and enhancement funding to expand goods movement capacity across the I-10 corridor. Increased funding should not be “categorized”, so that states can tailor the mix of capacity increasing improvements to those that are feasible and work best in any given area.

20. Lessons from the I-10 study (cont’d) Technology strategies (e.g. ITS/CVO) show high Returns on Investment and should be a component of any capacity improvements.

21. Lessons from the I-10 study (cont’d) All system elements; interstate and state highways, local streets and roads, railroads, airborne and waterborne conveyances satisfy certain mobility demands most efficiently. All system elements; interstate and state highways, local streets and roads, railroads, airborne and waterborne conveyances satisfy certain mobility demands most efficiently. From Each Mode According To Its Ability, To Each Mode According To Its Need From Each Mode According To Its Ability, To Each Mode According To Its Need Each element must continue to contribute to overall mobility and should be enhanced as feasible. Each element must continue to contribute to overall mobility and should be enhanced as feasible. Prevent inappropriate intermodal shifts of mobility Prevent inappropriate intermodal shifts of mobility burdens (such as using the Interstate System to satisfy local circulation needs and using trucks to carry bulk commodities best moved by rail or barge) can delay the need for, and reduce the magnitude of, Interstate System capacity improvements.
