Successful Intermodal Corridor Management Practices for Sustainable System Performance

Overview

Intermodal corridor management strives to meet transportation demand at the least social and economic cost while maximizing the return on previous and future investments in infrastructure and services. Intermodal corridor management builds on the principles of multimodal corridor planning, integrated corridor management (ICM), and active traffic management. It recognizes that multiple modes can satisfy a variety of travel demands within a corridor and that most movement of people, goods, information, and services in a corridor involves movement between modes. This scan project is intended to produce practical guidance and examples for state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations seeking opportunities to coordinate investments in multiple modal transportation networks within a corridor to maximize capacity and capitalize on investments creating synergies between modes.
