The Ports-to-Plains
Trade Corridor is a planned, multimodal transportation corridor including
a multi-lane divided highway that will facilitate the efficient transportation
of goods and services from Mexico, through West Texas, New Mexico, Colorado,
and Oklahoma, and ultimately on into Canada and the Pacific Northwest.
Together, the
communities along the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor are becoming the
Gateway to trade throughout the nation and with Mexico and Canada. The
Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor will provide a vast number of benefits
for communities along the corridor. The Trade Corridor will allow for
the development of less congested ports of entry along the Texas/Mexico
border. In addition, it will provide alternatives to other congested
corridors that run through major metropolitan areas. In doing so, the
trade between Mexico, Canada, and the United States will continue to
dramatically increase and all three nations will continue to see a rise
in their regional mobility and economic status.
