Mid-America Freight Coalition 

In August, the MAFC technical representatives from the 10 member states met in Traverse City, Michigan for the 2018 MAFC Annual Meeting. This meeting was held in conjunction with the MAASTO 2018 conference, which dedicated a track to freight topics throughout the two-day event. The content for the breakout sessions in this track was driven by MAFC members.

Freight topics included truck parking and TPIMS, shortline rail, marine freight planning, freight funding, and freight customer service.

The MAFC attendees held their annual dinner and meeting at nearby Black Star Farms on Tuesday, August 28th.
