INLAND WATERWAY TRANSPORT POLICY IN THE U.S.

The report analyzes the role of inland waterway transport within the dual framework of national water policy and national transportation policy, based on a synthesis of existing information and policy debates about the development and future of inland waterway transport in the United States. A logical framework for identifying and evaluating the problem is developed as a basis for considering the future of inland waterway transport. A descriptive summary of the inland waterway system and industry is given, along with a review of the history and development of the system.
