A Perfect Storm is Forming:
Transportation Capacity & Congestion
“looming threat to our economic prosperity”
10. 2/18/2009 10
The “Driving Force”
• “The U. S. Highway system has
experienced nearly a doubling of
vehicle miles traveled in the past 20
years while the total highway
mileage has increased only by 1
percent.”
• "In 2009, all signs point to an
infrastructure that is poorly
maintained, unable to meet current
and future demands, and in some
cases, unsafe," *(ASCE)
• ASCE said the nation needs to
spend $186 billion annually to
substantially improve the road
network *(ASCE)
*American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
Report Card – Jan. 28, 2009

“ A Perfect Storm is forming”
1. Highway Congestion
2. Rail & Highway Capacity inadequate to handle
future freight projections
3. Long Haul Driver Shortages – Quality of life a
priority
4. Ultra Low Sulfur Fuels required Oct. 2006
6. New environmental regulations – Fleet
replacement cost high
7. New Hours of Service regulations
8. New Immigration Laws/License requirements
9. Aging truck fleet

Secretary of Transportation Mineta
“One intermodal alternative is the development of a
robust short sea shipping system that would aid in
the reduction of growing freight congestion on our
nation’s rail and highway systems.”

Defining Short Sea Shipping
MARAD Defines Short Sea Shipping as:
“Commercial waterborne transportation
that does not transit an ocean.”
“It is an alternative form of commercial
transportation that utilizes inland and
coastal waterways to move commercial
freight from major domestic ports to its
destination.”

Tie Marine Transportation to
Surface Transportation Policy
• Exempt certain cargo from the domestic application of the Harbor
Maintenance Tax.
• Create a private freight ferry program akin to the existing ferryboat grant
program that funds vessel and landing construction.
• Continue to support and authorize states, and multi-state entities like the I-95
Corridor Coalition, to designate water routes part of the national highway
system much as was done with the Alaska Marine Highway.
• Improve and expand freight data and research activity for the benefit of all
modes and systems.
• Restore and empower the Office of Intermodalism to the Office of the
Secretary in USDOT.
• Invest in new parallel water routes where corridor capacity is needed and
applicable.
• Allow mode-neutral decisions on infrastructure investment in the use of
Federal transportation funds to address transportation problems.
41. 2/18/2009 41
• Support the training of transportation planners and engineers in applying
water transportation solutions.
• Give MARAD the human and funding resources needed to undertake the
SST mission Congress gave it.
• Provide short term incentives to shippers to use water routes where meet
their logistics needs.
• Open existing financing mechanisms such as TIFIA and the RRIF to water
transportation infrastructure requirements.
• Provide incentives to operators to invest in new equipment or retrofits
that would produce cleaner emissions.
• Improve Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) authority as needed.
• Increase CMAQ funding to support marine transportation solutions
