Meeting the challenge
The United States relies on a complex and ever-growing inter-modal transportation
system--that is, a system using multiple modes, primarily tractor-trailer trucks,
rail cars, airplanes and barges and container ships.
With imports and exports increasing, the container cargo shipping industry is expected to double by 2020, creating a strain on the rest of the nation's transportation systems and the need for more efficiency and innovation. Rising fuel prices, increased trade with Latin America and the future expansion of the Panama Canal will be an opportunity and a challenge for the logistics, trade and transportation industries of the U.S. Gulf Coast.
The CLTT performs the following services:
- Data-driven Solutions with Applied Research: Freight System, International Trade, Economic Development
