Current Intermodal Facility Constraints
• Space constraints have required the use of four inefficient “satellite” parking sites for over ten years
• This operation elevates truck movements in the downtown area of Charlotte
• Current and projected intermodal growth throughout the Southeast requires expanded intermodal operations in Charlotte
• Greater capacity would also lend itself to the addition of more intermodal service lanes
