• Huntsville International Airport Passenger and Cargo Hubbing: Huntsville International Airport is a prime candidate for a connecting hub and supports proposed expansion plans.
• Huntsville International Airport International Intermodal Center Expansion:
the MPO supports the recent International Intermodal Center expansion, which should provide effective long-term service to users.
• A riverport facility feasibility study has been conducted and a prime site for development has been procured.

The International Intermodal Center• Multi-modal services and facilities at one central hub location• Supports a range of services for receiving, transferring,
storing, and distributing air, rail, and highway cargo as well as features a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Port of Entry with Customs Officials, U.S. Department of Agriculture Inspectors, and Custom Brokers on site.
• Rail service is provided by Norfolk Southern.• The Intermodal Center is capable of handling trailer on flat
car and container on flat car (TOFC/COFC) and double-stack service.
• Serves as a regional distribution hub for rail customers within a 200-mile radius and a 600-mile radius for air cargo customers.

• There is currently no direct connection to the Tennessee/Tombigbee Waterway which is approximately 5.5 miles south of the airport at the Tennessee River.
• A major concern in the Tennessee Valley has been the lack of limited access, interstate highway facilities connecting the Huntsville urban area with major cities to the east and west; Memphis, Atlanta and Chattanooga.

Recommendations for public transportation within the MPO Study Area include: Expansion of fixed route service to the following areas given financial feasibility:
1. Southwest Redstone Arsenal Gate 9 – service where there has been new development that includes office complexes and retail.2. East Huntsville – where the Cinram Company and the Madison County Industrial Park are located
3. Service to the City Limits of Madison and the Huntsville International Airport
Exploring the implementation of a Bus Rapid Transit System (BRT) to provide service to these new geographic areas Expanding Handi-Ride service, as fixed route service expands Expanding service hours for Handi-Ride and fixed routes Decreasing headways on fixed service routes Expanding the County's demand response transit service (TRAM) as necessary
