Invest in the Future Interstate Corridor
Joining the Ports-to-Plains Alliance is a direct investment in the future of the Heartland. We are a unified transportation advocacy group dedicated to advancing the 2,300-mile future interstate corridor from Mexico to Canada. Your membership provides the resources needed for sustained legislative advocacy, ensuring that the corridor — including the I-27 extension — receives the federal and state funding required for completion. By uniting communities, businesses, and elected officials across all nine states and North America, we create the critical mass necessary to influence policy and secure rural infrastructure investment.
