Fourth Transportation Systems Resilience Exercise: Passenger and Freight Railroads in Sustainable Mobility and Resilient Supply Chains
Workshop 1012
The transportation of goods on railroads is increasing but has not reached optimization. The construction of high-speed rail and hyperloop services offer an opportunity to increase freight transport on existing rails. Railroads are a critical lifeline for commerce, national security, and commuter transportation services. This exercise explores processes and partnerships to enhance sustainability and mobility and to increase supply-chain resilience by focusing on the risks of shipping liquid natural gas, terrorists manipulating explosives or cybercommunications, and disruptive technologies. Also discussed will be the underutilized logistics services provided by rail during disasters and other supply-chain disruptions.
