National Intermodal Transportation System

The National Intermodal Transportation System is a coordinated network that connects different modes of transportation—such as trucks, trains, ships, and planes—to move goods efficiently across the country. It integrates various transport methods so cargo can be transferred smoothly from one to another, reducing delays and costs. This system enhances supply chain reliability, supports economic growth, and helps ensure goods reach consumers quickly and sustainably. Essentially, it’s a seamless infrastructure that allows for the coordinated movement of freight nationwide, leveraging multiple transportation modes to optimize efficiency and reliability.
