Faster Transport: The goal is to reduce chassis waiting times and streamline goods flow at Memphis rail ramps.
No Taxpayer Cost: The system will be funded by private companies without government subsidies, meaning no burden on the state budget.
Voluntary Participation: Transport and shipping companies can voluntarily join the new system.
