                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing support for the designation of September 13, 2022, as 
                          ``Intermodal Day''.

Whereas the intermodal industry is a vital part of the United States economy, 
        generating more than $51,000,000,000 of revenue in North America 
        annually and moving over 52,000,000 domestic and international 
        containers on its network;
Whereas intermodal provides a more sustainable cargo transportation option by 
        decreasing CO2 emissions by 25,000,000 tons, highway maintenance costs 
        by $1,700,000,000, and delivering $4,400,000,000 in annual savings to 
        shippers;
Whereas the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) represents a roster 
        of over 1,000 corporate members including railroads, ocean carriers, 
        ports, intermodal truckers and over-the-road highway carriers, 
        intermodal marketing and logistics companies, and suppliers to the 
        industry, providing IANA a unique position within the freight community, 
        which is authoritative, holistic, and able to effect change that 
        benefits everyone; and
Whereas IANA is hosting the largest gathering of the intermodal freight supply 
        chain at the Intermodal EXPO in Long Beach, California, September 12 
        through 14, 2022, supporting the shared needs, interests, and goals of 
        its diverse members with business solutions, education, and networking 
        opportunities: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``Intermodal Day'' to celebrate the intermodal 
industry's vital contribution to the movement of freight and to a 
vibrant United States economy.
