As part of its effort to help educate audiences about the inland waterways’ contribution to US economy, the Waterways Council, Inc. (WCI) released a series of short videos to inform of how these waterways support national freight shippers, agriculture, the labor community, the Corps of Engineers, and building communities.
For decades, the US has been using the river system to transport goods, as it is efficient and cost effective.
By using the inland waterways, the US lessens impact in other infrastructure areas, keeping trucks off the roads.
