Sec. 500.111  IMS.

    An effective IMS for intermodal facilities and systems provides 
efficient, safe, and convenient movement of people and goods through 
integration of transportation facilities and systems and improvement in 
the coordination in planning, and implementation of air, water, and the 
various land-based transportation facilities and systems. An IMS should 
include, at a minimum:
    (a) Establishment of performance measures;
    (b) Identification of key linkages between one or more modes of 
transportation, where the performance or use of one mode will affect 
another;
    (c) Definition of strategies for improving the effectiveness of 
these modal interactions; and
    (d) Evaluation and implementation of these strategies to enhance the 
overall performance of the transportation system.
