Title: PLANNING FOR INTERMODAL FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES TO ENHANCE TRAFFIC FLOW IN SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI
Abstract: There has been a sustained growth in population, business and tourism in Mississippi's three southern most counties (Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson). Each of these counties has an active and growing port facility. A major problem facing the ports is the intermodal movement of goods. The sustained growth that the area has seen has resulted in slower movement of traffic, especially in the Gulfport area. The long range potential for the ports is very positive. Thus the problems of the movement of goods and people will probably increase in the future if the current infrastructure is not improved. Discussions with port personnel reveal that an intermodal facility would help to improve the movement of goods along the coast.
