Purpose:

To address all types of intermodal freight transportation, including rail-water, rail-highway, highway- water, and highway-air modal combinations. All aspects that impact freight movement, such as rates, routes, services, transfer facilities, and containers are considered. The purpose of the committee is to advance the art and science of civil engineering by: (1) promoting the civil engineer's leading role in intermodal transportation, (2) disseminating information regarding state of the art technology as applicable to intermodal transportation, (3) fostering education and research in intermodal matters, and (4) collaborating with other technical committees of the Society and with multimodal committees of other organizations.
