The intermodal transport and transport board's role
Overview
Background & policy context:
Concepts of intermodal transport, combined transport, multimodal transport and modality are often used in different contexts. Since Transport Agency is one of the authorities in the transport sector, there was brought the idea of initiating an investigation aimed at enhancing our knowledge of traffic laws and how they influence and interact with each other, and at clarification of the role of the Transport Agency.
Objectives:
The work aims to:
• describe the market for intermodal and combined transport,
• describe how the concept of intermodal transport has been handled at the EU level and at national political level as well as from a business perspective,
• describe the Transport Agency and other relevant actors in the intermodal transport.
Methodology:
Information for this project has been collected by various methods. The policy discussion at EU and national level have mostly acquired through literature studies and some interviews. The assignment included both interviews with actors active in intermodal transporter and a mapping of existing statistics in the area.
