America's Freight Transportation Gateways. Connecting Our Nation to Places and Markets Abroad

摘要

U.S. gateways handled increasing volumes of freight as the movement of merchandise trade to and from our nation rose. Some facilities increased in relative importance, while others declined. Changes in freight movement influenced investment needs for air and marine facilities, land border crossings, and connecting infrastructure linking gateways to commercial and population centers. The report is a data profile of the nation's leading international transportation gateways. It is a collection of information that highlights the top 25 freight gateways and provides the most recent annual information on the goods and infrastructure at these seaports, airports, and land border crossings.
