Page 6-14 SECTION 6 - NON-HIGHWAY FACILITIES INVENTORY The BHJ region has traditionally relied heavily upon different modes of transportation for the movement of both people and goods. Industries throughout the valley have utilized rail, river barge, and highways to ship and receive goods and supplies. There has also been a long history of public transportation within the region. The integration of all possible modes of transportation is vitally important for the future growth and development of the region. As the transportation network develops and stakeholders grapple with fundamental funding and environmental constraints, it has become increasingly important to make the most efficient use of the entire transportation system. Intermodal diversification and integration provides time and cost efficiencies while preserving the existing transportation system. This section is an inventory of the non-highway means of transporting people and goods within the BHJ region through railroads, water ports, public transit, human services transportation, and shared ride alternatives. Although these modes have historically played an important role in the region’s past in one form or another, an interconnected “seamless” transportation network will help conserve energy, financial, and other environmental resources. In turn, such conservation measures will promote future growth and economic development. RIVER PORTS The region’s Ohio River Navigation System consists of two project pools. From the north, the New Cumberland Pool stretches 14.3 river miles through the region along the shores of Hancock County, WV, and Columbiana County, OH beginning at Mile 40, the Pennsylvania Stateline, and ending at River Mile 54.3, the New Cumberland Locks & Dam. The Ohio River then flows over the New Cumberland Dam into the Pike Island Pool ending at Mile 84.2, the Pike Island Locks & Dam just south of the Jefferson County line at Yorkville, OH. In total, Ohio River Navigation System accessible throughout the BHJ Region is 44.2 river miles. Figure 1 illustrates the Ohio River Docking Facilities and Fleeting Areas in the BHJ Geographic Area that correspond with Table 1 Ohio River Navigation Facilities, sorted by River Mile Location starting from the north and running down river to the south. According to a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) Navigation Data Center survey, last revised September 2011, there are 48 docking areas and 5 fleeting areas (a holding area for barges in a fleet area until they are called by a dock facility) accessible within the BHJ Ohio River Navigation system. Of the 53 facilities, 15 are located in Brooke County, 13 in Hancock County, and 15 in Jefferson County. There are 17 facilities situated in Columbiana County, OH, that borders the Ohio River north of Hancock County. Private business interest own and operate all with the exception of the Wellsville Dock at River Mile 49.1, managed by the Columbiana County Port Authority.
