LEGAL AND REGULATORY BARRIERS TO BETTER INTERNATIONAL INTERMODAL TRANSPORT

This paper examines how the U.S. regulatory system for transport evolved, particularly features of that system that affect intermodal transport. It concludes by sketching a few areas of pending change that may pose opportunities for improved intermodal freight transport between Europe and the United States. It represents the second step of a dialogue between European and U.S. leaders, which began with a forum in Washington, DC, in October 1997, seeking improved intermodal freight service between these two regions.
