This compendium of Intermodal Transportation Passenger Terminal Facilities provides a descriptive overview of cooperative approaches to offer improved transportation choices and connections. It includes a representative snapshot of Federally funded, proposed Federally funded, public and privately financed, and privately financed intermodal facilities. The information in the descriptions was provided primarily by local sponsors or interested parties of the terminal facilities and enhanced with U.S. Department of Transportation data. The compendium was compiled in response to general public interest in terminal facility developmental activities.
