Abstract:Moving commerce by water represents 25 percent of all goods movements within the state of Louisiana and is a critical component of the multimodal transportation system in the state [1]. To be best positioned for future development and investment, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's (DOTD) Office of Multimodal Commerce (OMC) requested a comprehensive, statewide waterways transportation system plan. The plan would be capable of dovetailing into, and be a complement for, the Louisiana Statewide Transportation Plan. In doing so, it will provide the OMC the ability to identify potential chokepoints in the multimodal commerce network and ultimately assist in the development of strategies and capital investment programs to relieve these chokepoints through running “what-if” scenarios of the impacts of potential modal shifts on localized congestion.
