Intermodal Rail Ports
As the result of an extensive strategic planning initiative, the Ports of Indiana (POI)
has identified several new opportunities to leverage its capabilities and experience to
make a greater contribution to Indiana's economic well-being. With statutory changes
made in the 2003 legislative session, the Ports of Indiana can now pursue the development
of intermodal rail ports in Indiana. The Opportunity - "The Crossroads of America" is more
than just a creative nickname for Indiana - it is a reality. More than 82 million people
live within 500 miles of Indianapolis, and we already serve as a major truck and rail
corridor. Indiana has more interstate highways (14) than any other state, and its railroad
system ranks ninth in the nation for total mileage (4,178 miles). These advantages,
combined with the recent decision to phase out our inventory tax, puts Indiana in position
to compete for logistics investment by expanding our intermodal rail capacity.
