Interesting Facts About MTS

Seaports and inland waterways play a vital role in the nation's economy. The national Marine Transportation System comprises 1,000 harbor channels; 25,000 miles of inland, intracoastal, and coastal waterways; and 3,700 terminals that handle passenger and cargo movements. This system connects with 152,000 miles of rail, 460,000 miles of pipelines, and 45,000 miles of interstate highways. These elements are all tightly interwoven; developments in one part of the system could easily affect another part of the system located hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
