The truck and highway related impacts, as expressed by the below performance measures were modeled based on freight flows across likely origin-destination locations which would be diverted from truck to rail as a result of the new facilities. Average Truck Vehicle Miles of Travel Avoided Per Quarter Average Diesel Fuel Consumption Saved Per Quarter (Gallons) Average Highway Accidents Avoided Per Quarter Other impacts resulting from the new intermodal facilities include the following (see Qualitative Project Benefits table below): Significant new freight capacity from the Southeast through the Mid-Atlantic region, an area currently underserved by intermodal rail. Provided employment during the construction of each facility and increased business opportunities and job creation in economically distressed Memphis and Birmingham. Project combined multiple modes (water, rail, and highway) to gain the capacities, efficiencies, and environmental benefits of each. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions; congestion and highway maintenance costs by reducing truck traffic. Railroad donated green/recreational spaces improved quality of life for neighboring communities. Lessened footprint of facilities through enhanced storm water management on and near facilities; reduced truck idling emissions and fuel consumption due to state of the art Automatic Gate System (AGS) installed at the Memphis facility and with a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified Administration Building in the Birmingham facility.
