Public Riverports and Intermodal Facilities

Inland waterways system and intermodal transportation has been an extremely efficient mode of transportation for centuries. Intermodal freight transport involves the transportation of freight in an intermodal container or vehicle, using multiple modes of transportation (rail, ship, truck), without any handling of the freight itself when changing modes. Barges and other river transport efficiently deliver materials without congesting the roadways. KYOVA includes river transportation and intermodal facilities in the transportation planning process and can be found in Chapter 7 of the KYOVA 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP).

Below highlights the public riverports and intermodal facilities in the Huntington, WV-KY-OH Transportation Management Area (TMA).
