The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) released the final Freight Intermodal Connector
Study on May 23, 2017. The study was conducted to provide a comprehensive understanding
of the condition and performance of freight intermodal connectors on the National Highway
System (NHS). It aimed to determine how freight intermodal connectors are currently being
used by the industry, how their use is changing and what data and resources are currently
available to address the performance of freight connectors.
The report noted that freight intermodal connectors make up less than one percect of total
NHS mileage but are critical for the timely and reliable movement of freight.
