The type <br />of equipment depends on <br />the mode of transportation. <br />The modes of transportation <br />The Transportation and Warehousing sector distinguishes three basic types of activities: subsectors for <br />each mode of transportation, a subsector for warehousing and storage, and a subsector for <br />establishments providing support activities for transportation. In addition, there are subsectors for <br />establishments that provide passenger transportation for scenic and sightseeing purposes, postal <br />services, and courier services. <br />A separate subsector for support activities is established in the sector because, first, support activities for <br />transportation are inherently multimodal, such as freight transportation arrangement, or have multimodal <br />aspects. Secondly, there are production process similarities among the support activity industries. <br />One of the support activities identified in the support activity subsector is the routine repair and <br />maintenance of transportation equipment (e.g., aircraft at an airport, railroad rolling stock at a railroad <br />terminal, or ships at a harbor or port facility). Such establishments do not perform complete overhauling or <br />rebuilding of transportation equipment (i.e., periodic restoration of transportation equipment to original <br />design specifications) or transportation equipment conversion (i.e., major modification to systems). An <br />establishment that primarily performs factory (or shipyard) overhauls, rebuilding, or conversions of <br />aircraft, railroad rolling stock, or a ship is classified in Subsector 336, Transportation Equipment <br />Manufacturing according to the type of equipment. <br />Many of the establishments in this sector often operate on networks, with physical facilities, labor forces, <br />and equipment spread over an extensive geographic area. Warehousing establishments in this sector are <br />distinguished from merchant wholesaling in that the warehouse establishments do not sell the goods. <br />Cabarrus Economic Development 3003 Dale Earnhardt Boulevard, Kannapolis, NC 28083 USA <br />704.782.4000 1 CabarrusEDC.com I FaceBook.com /CabarrusEDC I Twitter.com /CabarrusEDC <br />1 -3 <br />11'IL 14 II0-1 I:I I1111M11: <br />' l El / t <br />Page 343 <br />
