MAFC to Partner with ITTS

Mid-America Freight Coalition 

The Mid-America Freight Coalition is entering into a collaborative partnership with the Institute for Trade and Transportation Studies (ITTS).
This interregional partnership encompasses more than half of the United States and includes nearly every core industry—agriculture, automotive, manufacturing, mining, commodities, logistics, shipping, and warehousing.
Representatives from the MAFC and ITTS will work together to further encourage cooperative freight development between the two coalitions and their member states.
