87 This chapter presents the freight mode choice models obtained by the team. Since the descrip- tions of independent variables and model specifications for various types of models were pro- vided in Chapter 7, this chapter only provides the model results. In deciding which models to present in this chapter, the team used two criteria. The first was conceptual validity, which in most cases consisted of verifying that the models had negative parameters for rate, transit time, and generalized cost. The constant term in the models should be positive, as it represents the bias toward the truck mode. The NCFRP Project 44 research team, to the extent possible, compared the values of the parameters for the various models to ensure that comparatively speaking, the results made sense. The second criteria was statistical significance to ensure that the models were statistically solid. In a number of cases, however, the team decided to include models that were conceptually valid, but had parameters that were not statistically significant. These models have been labelled as “Not Recommended: Conceptually Valid But Statistically Not Significant.” These models were included for reference purposes. The model results utilize the following statistics to indicate the goodness of fit and statistical significance of the models: Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), F-test (F), value of time (VOT), Wald Chi-Squared Test (Wald), and Log Likelihood (Log Lik.). This chapter is divided into five sections. The first presents the shipment-size models as a function of GCD. The second section explains the market-share models. The subsequent three sections present the shipment-level models with three types of weights, unweighted, domestic, and total weight, respectively. Shipment-Size Models Table 21 shows the final shipment-size models (in lb) used to address the endogeneity between the mode choice and the shipment size. The instrumental variable is the GCD in miles. The functional forms are shown in Equations (14) and (15). These models, although they have a lower R2, were able to address the endogeneity effectively due to a higher t-stat value, which shows the explanatory power of the variable. Some commodities are grouped at the two-digit SCTG level to improve the model estimates. The shipment-size model for coal (SCTG 15) could not be presented because it did not pass the disclosure requirements. Market-Share Models The market-share models that estimate the probability of which mode will be chosen between truck and rail for a typical shipment are presented in Tables 22 to 25. It is important to note that only statistically significant and conceptually valid models are shown. In these tables, the model results are shown in two parts. The top part of each table lists the recommended models, C H A P T E R 8 Model Results

88 Impacts of Policy-Induced Freight Modal Shifts which are conceptually valid and statistically significant. The bottom part of each table shows the models that are not recommended because, although they are conceptually valid, they are not statistically significant. Also, the sample size represents the number of bins by GCD considered in the aggregation process and does not represent the number of shipments. Transit Time and Freight Rate Models This section presents the market-share models that consider freight rate or transit time as separate independent variables (see Table 22).

Market-share two-digit SCTG models, generalized cost (op. cost = 5%). Generalized Cost Models This section presents market-share models that consider generalized costs as independent variables (see Tables 23 through 25). Shipment-Level Models: Unweighted These models assume that the freight mode choice data represent the actual market in the United States. Hence, the sample was not weighted for the model estimation. Tables 26 to 31 present the shipment-level models without any sample weights. Wherever the transit time vari- able has been found to be not statistically significant, it has been excluded from the tables. Transit Time and Freight Rate Models This section presents the unweighted shipment-level models that consider freight rate or transit times as separate independent variables. There are cases where only the freight rates are statistically significant (the transit time is not). In these cases, the team decided to accept these models as valid (see Tables 26 and 27).

94 Impacts of Policy-Induced Freight Modal Shifts Shipment-Level Models: Weighted—Domestic Cargo (Dom-Weight) This section presents the shipment-level models with sample weighted for the domestic cargo mode share by commodity, as published in FAF Version 4 (FAF 2018). Tables 32 to 37 pre- sent the shipment-level models using the weighted sample. As with the previous set of models, wherever the transit time variable has been found to be not statistically significant, it has been excluded from the tables.

Model Results 97 Shipment-Level Models: Weighted—Total Cargo (Total-Weight) This section presents the shipment-level models with sample weighted for the total (includ- ing imports and exports) cargo mode share by commodity (FAF 2018). As in previous sections, wherever the transit time variable has been found to be not statistically significant, it has been excluded from the tables. Transit Time and Freight Rate Models This section presents the total-weight shipment-level models that consider transit time and freight rate as separate independent variables (see Tables 38 and 39).

In recent public policy debates, much emphasis has been placed on proposals to shift freight from highways to rail. This emphasis is based on goals of reducing emissions and highway congestion. However, prudent planning requires an understanding of the basics of mode choices, what could change those choices, and what the impacts will be.

The TRB National Cooperative Freight Research Program's NCFRP Research Report 40: Impacts of Policy-Induced Freight Modal Shifts provides public policymakers with the factors that shippers and carriers consider when choosing freight modes and provides an analytical methodology to quantify the probability and outcomes of policy-induced modal shifts.

This is the final report of the NCFRP Program, which ends on December 31, 2019. NCFRP has covered a range of issues to improve the efficiency, reliability, safety, and security of the nation's freight transportation system.
