Held in Conjunction with
\nMAASTO Annual Meeting
\nAugust 8-11, 2016
\nMinneapolis, MN<\/strong><\/p>\n

In August, the MAFC technical representatives and their partners met in Minneapolis, Minnesota for the MAFC Annual Meeting. For the first time, the meeting was held in partnership with the MAASTO Annual Summer Meeting. This, in part, was intended to provide increased integration of the freight activities of the states and the Coalition with MAASTO activities. It also served to increase awareness and the institutionalization of freight development within\u00a0the DOTs.<\/p>\n

As shown in the agenda, the meeting began with a MAFC workshop on Monday afternoon where MAFC staff summarized the last year\u2019s efforts and sketched out a trajectory for the upcoming years. The majority of the workshop time was spent on state-to-state discussions where each attendee talked about the big projects, successes, and issues they are working through in their agency. A summary of the state-to-state discussions is provided\u00a0below.\u00a0Slides from presentations given during the\u00a0MAFC session and freight-related presentations are available below.<\/p>\n

MAFC would like to thank MAASTO and the MAASTO Planning committee as well the state MAFC technical representatives for the continued support and participation in the Mid-America Freight Coalition. The Coalition also wishes to thank SRF and Quentica for their support of MAFC events at the MAASTO meeting.<\/p>\n
