Effects of Deregulation on Motor Carriers, 2d ed.
$20.00
This book addresses the effects of a decade of deregulation of the motor carrier industry and discusses the ramifications for carrier/shipper relations, rate/service trade-offs, and other aspects of the deregulated motor carrier industry. The author takes a "grounded research" approach, presenting findings as objectively as possible. Nicholas A. Glaskowsky, Jr., 108 pp., 2d ed., 1990. (Pub. Order # 005-E)
Improving Metropolitan Planning to Integrate Freight Transportation
$25.00
Metropolitan transportation planning has focused primarily on passenger needs, and improvements to facilitate freight services have often been viewed as benefiting only private transportation providers. More communities are now beginning to recognize that a healthy freight transportation infrastructure will improve environmental quality, boost trade, and bring private capital into communities. Participants at a forum sponsored by the Eno Transportation Foundation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency examined ways in which all parties engaged in local, regional, and federal investment decisions can work together to improve the efficiency of freight transportation (particularly intermodal services) and increase the potential environmental benefits to metropolitan areas. This report summarizes the discussions at that forum, which was structured to focus on successful experiences and to extrapolate how they might be applied in other regions of the country. Kevin E. Heanue, 71 pp., 1999. (Pub. Order # 009-I)
Intermodal Freight Transport in Europe & the US: Report of the 5th Forum
$35.00
Intermodal Freight Transport in Europe and the United States-1st Forum
$20.00
A 1997 policy forum conducted by the Eno Transportation Foundation and cosponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the European Commission brought key public and private leaders in transportation industries from the United States and Europe together to examine strategies for improving transatlantic intermodal freight transport. The forum sparked a multi-nation dialogue on intermodal freight that continues today. The report includes a summary of key findings from the forum, as well as five papers that cover the state of intermodal freight transport, opportunities for improving intermodal freight transport in the European Union (EU) and United States, and areas for U.S.-EU cooperation in furthering intermodal freight transport. 90 pp., 1998. (Pub. Order # 010-I)
Intermodal Freight Transportation, 4th ed.
$45.00
This comprehensive overview of intermodal freight transportation describes how intermodal freight transportation developed, discusses how it serves us today, and provides a glimpse of its future. Topics include intermodal containers; government regulations; movement by truck, rail, air, and water; military transport; transportation facilitators; terminals; information technology; and competition. Discussions are presented in practical terms, accompanied by photographs and real-life examples. A key information source for both professionals and students. Published jointly by the Eno Transpotation Foundation and the Intermodal Association of North America. Gerhardt Muller, 501 pp., 4th ed., 1999. (Pub. Order # 012-I)
Report on the 4th Forum on Intermodal Freight Transport in Europe & the United States
$30.00
More than 50 top leaders in transport from Europe and the United States met in Genoa, Italy, in April 2001 to discuss steps for improving intermodal freight transport. The goals of the forum sponsors-the European Commission, the Eno Transportation Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Transportation-were to improve intermodal transport by building a better understanding of the complex set of issues that affect it, and to help independent public and private organizations coordinate their activities into an integrated whole. The report includes a companion booklet, "EU/US Dialogue on Intermodal Freight Transport," which provides information on key areas examined at the three prior intermodal forums. 58 pp. + 19 pp. booklet, 2002. (Pub. Order # 026-I)
Toward Improved Intermodal Freight Transport between Europe & the US
$30.00
Senior freight industry executives and government transport officials from Europe and the United States met in New York City in November 1999 to exchange ideas about streamlining the transatlantic intermodal market and to examine the implications of growth in e-commerce, the prospects for increased standardization of containers, recent advances in tracking and tracing intermodal shipments, and the opportunities and risks of third-party logistics. Includes a companion CD-ROM that provides additional background papers, presentations from the forum, and video clips of the forum debate. 84 pp. plus CD-ROM, 2000. (Pub. Order # 019-T)
Toward Improved Intermodal Freight Transport between Europe and the United States: Next Steps 2nd Forum
$25.00
Efficient intermodal transport networks are vital to the economies of Europe and North America. Intermodal freight transport, or the seamless and continuous door-to door transport of freight on two or more modes, has evolved considerably in response to changing marketing and distribution requirements and new technologies that unlock the potential for efficiency improvements in transport and supply chain management. Achieving a balanced intermodal network requires increased coordination on many different levels, including institutional, operational and physical networks. This coordination must be accomplished by both the private sector and government agencies, and it requires a thoughtful examination of the common impediments and opportunities facing intermodal transport in each region. This report summarizes discussions on this subject at a 1998 forum conducted by the Eno Transportation Foundation and co-sponsored by the European Commission and the U.S. Department of Transportation. 86 pp., 1999. (Pub. Order # 018-T)
Efficient Goods Movement and the Environment
$15.00
This 2005-06 symposium series, held in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, examined the interplay between goods movement and the environment, and addressed a complex set of issues that are critical to the nation’s transportation system, economy, and quality of life. More than 60 industry, government, and community leaders participated in the discussions, which explored a number of topics including freight bottlenecks, advanced vehicle technologies, financing freight infrastructure, air quality issues, port/facility expansion, and community activism that are important to achieving freight and environmental goals. The summary report lays out the major points made by series speakers and describes options related to technology, infrastructure, and citizen engagement to address conflicts that arise as the U.S. pursues the dual goals of ensuring efficient movement of freight and protection of the environment. 22 pp., 2006.
