• Abstract:
  Trade flows across the three North American countries have increased substantially since the ; implementation of the North American Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but there is no movement toward ; developing a true North American Transportation Corridor Network. This report examines two types of ; North American transportation corridor networks. The first is a transportation infrastructure network that ; spans across the three North American countries, including highways, railroads, and port of entries which ; are all part of a large multimodal transportation network. The second type of networks analyzed, is a ; research network that is a collection and collaboration of organizations, individuals, and research that have ; the goal of improving transportation in North America. Through this research project, a group of ; transportation experts from the United States, Mexico and Canada was assembled through a webinar to ; discuss issues related to a North American transportation corridor plan. The formation of a North ; American transportation center is recommended to research and educate government officials on the ; current and projected state of transportation in North America.
