Intermodal planning is an examination of interactions and relative costs and benefits between competing and complementary transportation modes. Through intermodal planning, significant savings can be realized in the areas of freight movements and urban passenger travel. To promote intermodal planning by State and local transportation agencies, the Secretary of Transportation should seek (1) congressional legislation to consolidate Federal airport, highway, railroad, and transit planning grants into a block grant for all transportation planning and (2) merge the Department of Transportation's modal planning staffs into a single, all-mode unit.
