~4.3 Lnrtdstd.c Actress to U.S. Ports, 1993 (P} Mode Water Abstract 1~ October 1990 the U.S. Department of Transportation, acting through the Maritime Administration, sought assistance from a Transportation Research Board committee in identifying landside access problems and potential solutions for general cargo and bulk marine terminals in the United.States. The investigation focused on four main categories of access issues and impediments physical, land use, regulatory and institutional. It presents objectively access problems facing the port industry and offers opportunities to alleviate critical ones. This report is the culmination of a three-year, comprehensive investigation of land transportation access to U.S. cargo ports and terminals Key recommendations of the report are designed to ensure Mat port access routes important to interstate and international commerce and national security are appropriately addressed at Me Federals State, and local levels.

Nalio'`wide Truck Aching Survey (NTA CS) (D) l\fodc I-Iigl~way, Multimodal ~10.2 Abstract The NTACS is a follow-o~ to the 1987 Truck Inventory and Use Survey (TIUS) designed to collect detailed information on travel characteristics of commercial motor vehicles. The survey provides detailed annual and daily activity for a probability sample of trucks responding to the TIUS. The data were collected for days selected at random over a 12-month period ending in October 1990. Among tile truck, shipment, and location characteristics, the NTACS identifies shipments carried by tile truck diet were picked up or delivered lo al.o~her Node. In addition, the survey provides information on temporal, geographic and oilier characteristics of truck use that are not collected in the TIUS. Source of Data Survey of a sample of all trucks reported carrying commodities over long distances in the 1987 TIUS, approximately half of the trucks that were-reported as carrying commodities locally in the 1987 TIUS and a small portion of the remaining 1987 TIUS respondents. .~ttr~bu~es Geographic Coverage of Data: U.S. totals; U.S. Census Bureau's Regions Time Span of Data Source: 1989-1990 First Developed: 1990 Update Frequency: TI3D Last Update: 1990 Number of Records: 22,044 File Size: ASClI1180 tracks, SAS/510 tracks File Format: ASCII, SAS Media: 9-track Tape, 6250 bpi; CD-ROM; Printed Source Significant Features~imitations Data limited to trucks 4-years old and older.
