Rail Intermodal Keeps America Moving Containers accounted for 44 percent of intermodal volume in 1990, 69 percent in 2000, and a record 91 percent in 2016. Unlike trailers, containers can be “double stacked,” sharply increasing productivity and helping to ensure that there is sufficient traffic density to keep rail intermodal cost competitive with all truck movements. Containers can also be easily transferred to and from ships and trucks, further enhancing productivity. Source: AAR analysis of 2018 STB Waybill Sample

The Urban Mobility Report provides a comprehensive analysis of traffic conditions in 494 urban areas across the United States. The report points to the need to consider a full range of mobility improvement strategies. TTI’s 2019 edition uses crowd sourced data from INRIX on urban streets and highways, along with highway inventory data from the Federal Highway Administration.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Border Crossing/Entry Data provides summary statistics for inbound crossings at the U.S.-Canadian and the U.S.-Mexican border at the port level. Data are available for trucks, trains, containers, buses, personal vehicles, passengers, and pedestrians. Border crossing data are collected at border ports by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The data reflect the number of vehicles, containers, passengers or pedestrians entering the United States. Customs and Border Protection does not collect comparable data on outbound crossings. Users seeking data on outbound vehicles may therefore want to review data from individual bridge operators, border state governments, or the Mexican and Canadian governments.
