introduction
The Mid-america Freight Coalition earlier was Mississippi Valley Freight Coalition has built upon the work of the Upper Midwest Freight Corridor Study to establish a regional organization to cooperate in the planning, operation, preservation, and improvement of transportation infrastructure in the Mississippi Valley region. The Mississippi Valley region includes ten states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin) that share key interstate corridors, rail infrastructure, and inland and Great Lakes waterways. The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding by these states’ Departments of Transportation indicates their willingness to meet freight demand through regional cooperative efforts.
The Mid-America Freight Coalition is currently involved in the formation of Executive and Technical Committees, the surveying of transportation Customers in the region (to form a Customer Committee), and the development of a Charter and Assessment of Financial Needs.
