US vs International Transport

Q Team Project - U.S. Versus International Transportation Methods Working in the same teams as assigned earlier in the course, your task is to evaluate and analyze and then compare and make recommendations on the U.S. and International transportation methods and policies/procedures. Analyze and Compare First, evaluate and analyze at least four U.S. transportation methods and policies/procedures and compare them with international/foreign methods and policies/procedures. The transportation methods can be a mix of air, trucking, sea, rail, pipeline or all four policies/procedures can be on one mode of transportation. You will present this information through whatever means your team feels reflects a visual way to see the comparison of U.S. and foreign methods and policies/procedures. Some ideas may be through a chart on a Word® document, or create a flyer, or showcase your information in a PowerPoint® presentation - be creative. Evaluate and Make Recommendations After your comparison, your next step is to thoroughly evaluate U.S. and International methods and policies/procedures. With the knowledge you have gained thus far in the course, make some recommendations for improvement on the methods and policies/procedures your team believes should be addressed (either U.S. procedures, International procedures, or a combination of both). Explain your team’s rational for your choices. Your recommendations need to be supported with research and can be presented in whatever format your team decides. Best Practice Your team project is due in Module 9. The best practice for your team is to work on portions of your project each week until it is due. Only one member of your team will submit your final project for the entire team. Ensure you list all team members on the project, and cite your research appropriately according to current APA standards. Review the information on the Working in Teams page for assistance in using the course group tools.

Facilitation of transportation in the United States primarily happens through road, air, waterways (ships and boats), and rail. Most of the shorter passenger transportation means are by road via automobile and air as well as rail tracks for longer journeys. For cargo, transportation is mainly by railroad followed by truck and boats or pipeline (Diehl & Williams, 2017). Air shipping mostly takes place for premium express cargo and perishable goods. It is more useful for cargo transport in the US to happen via rail as it is for a passenger to travel by road means (Gransberg, Lopez Del Puerto & Tapia, 2018).
