CURRENT PROJECT GOALSTo increase the volume of data in the GLMIDS Repository
To enhance network databases with new connections, attributes
To acquire, store and manage data acquired by automated methods (AIS, USACE MD+, etc.)
To furnish prepared information on project web site
To develop a new, improveddata delivery system to replace Midwest FreightView
To focus on specific com-modity movements in theregion (e.g., Coal)

Conclusions Emphasis on continued acquisition of dataValue Added within existing databases through data enhancementContinued efforts to acquire data through automated methodsReplacement of Midwest FreightView with streamlined acquisition
system that provides download and basic viewing capabilitiesDevelopment of more comprehensive Atlas function on Project
Web Page: Maps, Enhanced Port Image Displays, Graphics, Tables
Increased focus on specific commodity movements in theregion (e.g., Coal)
Emphasis on the development of a regional database that can support freight modeling efforts
