Major Initiatives

Electronic Freight Management

Freight volumes by 2020 are forecasted to increase by 70% from 1998 totals, and freight volumes through primary gateway ports could more than double. Improvements in speed, accuracy and visibility of information transfer in a freight exchange could reap large rewards for America's economic vitality. The Electronic Freight Management Initiative will assist in making these improvements through the development of a common electronic freight management.
