The Inland Marine Transportation System is considered one of the nation’s largest investments in economic development, job creation, and national defense. It spans 38 states and includes 12,000 miles of navigable transportation waterways. Annually, it moves the equivalent of 5 million railroad cars or 23 million trucks.

Reducing service on lower use locks of rivers creates a domino effect on the high use locks. They become used less and are then designated “low use,” and the entire river is put into a death spiral. Customers that use the rivers then become reluctant to take barges into the upper reaches of these rivers due to the risk of becoming trapped during non-service periods. Then more locks fall under the low use classification.
