PHASE II ELECTRONIC MANIFEST SYSTEM : PROMOTING EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY THROUGH INTERMODAL DATA TRANSFER

Recognizing the important role government can play in developing and testing innovative technology systems for air freight movement, the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Aviation Administration, and the State of Illinois have partnered with the ATA Foundation and its private sector partners to develop and operationally test an Electronic Multimodal Distribution Chain Manifest system. The system will demonstrate the improvements in efficiency and security of an Internet-based electronic manifest system compared to traditional processes and paper-based manifest systems. The operational test is being conducted in conjunction with manufacturing, trucking, and airline participants in the Chicago-O'Hare International Airport and New York City-JFK International Airport service areas
