The purpose would be to investigate in detail what integrated and standardized data would be agreed to be exchanged among the planning organizations and to what extent state DOTs would agree to establish a Task Force as outlined in this report. A research task could involve an intensive investigation with a selected sample of Metropolitan Planning Organizations of how they assign priorities to specific data collections and to assess the resource savings that may be possible by reducing the duplication in data collected by integrating these data collection activities.

Thus, they have not exerted much pressure on transportation planning agencies to improve the efficiency in intermodal goods movement and for the public to understand the economic tradeoffs in public policy formulation affecting freight transport. Need for Data on Freight Transportation Efficiency Improvements in intermodal freight transport productivity have a large payoffpotential in reductions in delivered costs of freight.

Further research on the indirect effects of efficiency gains in freight transport as measured by industrial productivity. Current estimates vary widely and an in-depth analysis based on scientifically selected sample case studies would be appropriate.
