• Description:
  Freight corridors and gateways are key elements of the transportation network, and thus investment in them is critical to maintain economic competiveness. To make sure our future needs are met while ensuring economic competitiveness, there is a need for the United States and its North American partners to identify proactively where new infrastructure should be built to handle changes in trade patterns, demographics and freight flows with a focus on the role of transportation infrastructure in facilitating exports. Thus, the focus of the National Gateways and Corridors Concepts project is to identify and document multimodal corridor and gateway needs, trends, and opportunities to assist in the development of future national infrastructure plans that will assure U.S. and North American competiveness.
