This is an interim report documenting the first year's findings of a two-year project. The project provides information that will assist regional authorities in making more effective transportation policy to enhance economic development in the region. The first year deals with the collection of data to determine the changing transportation patterns and assesses the changes that have occurred in the rail and motor carrier industry in Region VII since the beginning of surface transportation regulatory reform in 1980. As a result, the first-year's effort is largely devoted to data collection, summarization, and reporting. The end of the first year was capped by a workshop attended by representatives of carriers, shippers, and governmental planning and regulatory agencies held on December 12, 1989 in Kansas City, Missouri. The second year will analyze the economic impact of possible transportation policy, public investment, and further institutional reforms. The second year will be capped by a workshop to be attended by representatives of transportation policy boards, members of state legislatures, federal decision-makers, and business leaders.
