• 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 crossborder 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, the private sector, and various stakeholders. In 2016, over 12,000 trucks, 122,000 personal vehicles, and 261,000 vehicle passengers crossed through the five Land Ports of Entry (LPOEs) along Alaska's 1,538 miles of shared border with the Yukon Territory and province of British Columbia, Canada.1,2
