Transportation in North America is about a varied transportation system, whose quality ranges from being on par with a high-quality European motorway to an unpaved gravelled back road that can extend hundreds of miles.

There is also an extensive transcontinental freight rail network, but passenger railway ridership is lower than in Europe and Asia.

Distribution (or place) is one of the four elements of the marketing mix.

Distribution is the process of making a product or service available for the consumer or business user that needs it.

This can be done directly by the producer or service provider, or using indirect channels with intermediaries.

Intermodal freight transport involves the transportation of freight in an intermodal container or vehicle, using multiple modes of transportation (rail, ship, and truck), without any handling of the freight itself when changing modes.

The method reduces cargo handling, and so improves security, reduces damage and loss, and allows freight to be transported faster.

Reduced costs over road trucking is the key benefit for inter-continental use.

This may be offset by reduced timings for road transport over shorter distances.
