Intermodal Transportation

In the twenty-first century, fast, efficient, and dependable access to worldwide suppliers and markets is essential for success in the global marketplace. ARC supports research, planning, and development activities designed to improve accessibility to the Region's transportation resources as well as the responsiveness of those resources. ARC funds are used to help improve and coordinate the Region's comprehensive intermodal transportation network, including aviation, local transit, railways, and inland waterways, so that it can actively support the businesses, communities, and people of Appalachia.

Network Appalachia is a report on the research and recommendations of a regional study group comprising economic development, transportation, and international trade professionals on how to develop a 21st century transportation network in Appalachia that would maximize economic and employment benefits to the Region.
