Title: RIVER EFFICIENCY, FUEL TAXES, AND MODAL SHIFTS: TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY MODEL ASSISTS POLICY MAKERS
Accession Number: 00929279
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Studying ways to measure the economic and social costs of the intermodal traffic shifts that would result from closing a waterway lock for reconstruction, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) developed a model for estimating river efficiency and fuel tax collections. TVA's River Efficiency Model (REM) revealed that the Ohio River ranks first in efficiency, closely followed by the Lower Mississippi. It also shows that tributary navigation feeding mainstem traffic generates 50% of the total fuel tax collections.
