| Abstract | The report has considered waterway user charges, which have been proposed as a method of cost recovery of Federal expenditures. The report has examined possible modal carrier and traffic impacts due to user charges on the inland river system, and potential differential effects of various cost recovery options. It has found that inland waterway ton-miles may be reduced by as much as ten percent by the recovery of 100 percent of annual Federal operating, maintenance, and rehabilitation expenditures on rivers through a segment-specific toll. Adjustments to the change in transportation prices by economic agents such as shippers, carriers, and producers should act to lower these traffic impacts over the long term. The report is divided into three volumes. This volume is a data appendix for the Department of Transportation's analyses of Federal cost recovery on the inland waterways. Tables include toll calculations by river and commodity, and ton-mile loadings for each river segment by commodity and river of origination. This allows determination of the interactions of river segments in each commodity class. |
