• Abstract:
  Border transportation planning involves the development of goals, objectives, and strategies for moving people and goods across the U.S.–Canada border. FHWA leads multiple binational stakeholders to collaboratively create safe and effective cross-border transportation. FHWA also facilitates the development and maintenance of the surface transportation system along the U.S.–Canada border to address existing and anticipated demand for cross border travel and trade while working with federal, state, regional, and local agencies, international partners at Transport Canada, the private sector, and various stakeholders. The trade relationship between the U.S. and Canada is the largest in the world. In 2016, over 378,000 trucks, 661,000 personal vehicles, and 1.2 million vehicle passengers crossed through the 119 Land Ports of Entry (LPOEs) along the U.S.'s 5,525 miles of shared border with Canada.1,2
