MAFC/ITTS Collaboration Continues

Mid-America Freight Coalition 

At the 2012 MAFC Annual Meeting, we talked about increasing the collaboration between the MAFC and other regions — specifically the group of states in the Southeast represented by the Institute for Trade and Transportation Studies (ITTS). As part of this collaboration, we’ve agreed to pursue a joint annual meeting in the Spring of 2013 in Kentucky.

Mid-America and Southeast Freight Corridors

It’s clear that both the Mid-America and Southeast regions are crucial to the nation’s economy. Our Mid-America region is a powerhouse, and when combined with the southeast states, our regions includes about 41 percent of the nation’s economy and 50 percent of US manufacturing.
Please take a look at the above flyer (you can also download the PDF) and let us know what you think.
