Transportation is the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter, contributing nearly a third of U.S. emissions according to the Environmental Protection Agency. And with 70% of the nation’s freight moving via truck on an annual basis, adopting more sustainable tactics will be critical for shippers to shrink their carbon footprints.
A sustainable alternative to motor freight is readily available: intermodal. Rail transportation as an additional mode of transportation has environmental and cost-saving benefits.
In a recent survey, FreightWaves and Uber Freight surveyed enterprise shippers to explore how intermodal fits into their sustainability plans.
