Intermodal
Intermodal transportation involves the cooperation of more than one
transportation mode for seamless movements over land, sea and air. Containerized
freight is a perfect example of intermodal transportation. To an inland province
like Alberta, containers are growing in importance because they are easily
transferred from one mode of transport to another; enable operators to offer
door-to-door, land-sea through-services; as well as reduce pilferage and theft
en route. Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation works to influence federal
policy on ports/terminals, ocean shipping, and land and air carrier issues
regarding competition, pricing and efficiency.
