# Plain Language Summary: "Intermodal Day" Resolution

This is a symbolic resolution that designates September 13, 2022, as "Intermodal Day" in the United States. In practical terms, this means Congress is officially recognizing and celebrating a specific day dedicated to intermodal transportation—which is the practice of moving goods using multiple forms of transportation (like combining trucks, trains, and ships in a single shipment).

The resolution doesn't create any new laws, requirements, or funding. It's essentially Congress saying "we recognize and support the importance of intermodal transportation to our economy." Think of it like a proclamation or official acknowledgment rather than legislation that changes how things actually work. The day itself is meant to highlight the transportation industry's role in moving goods efficiently across the country and around the world.

Since this is a symbolic gesture with no practical enforcement or real-world consequences for everyday people, it won't directly affect your taxes, your job, or your daily life. However, it does signal that Congress views intermodal transportation as important enough to deserve official recognition, which could influence future policy discussions about transportation infrastructure and logistics.

Expressing support for the designation of September 13, 2022, as "Intermodal Day".
