CURRENT PROJECT GOALS
To 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)

CURRENT PROJECT GOALS, continued
To continue managing this comprehensive database relating: Economic activity among all sectors Regional population patterns Import and export flows Intra-regional flows System capacity among all modes Intermodal connectivity
To continue towards the development of a regional database that can support freight modeling efforts.

Conclusions Emphasis on continued acquisition of data
Value Added within existing databases through data enhancement
Continued efforts to acquire data through automated methods
Replacement of Midwest FreightView with streamlined acquisitionsystem that provides download and basic viewing capabilities
Development of more comprehensive Atlas function on ProjectWeb 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
