YOUR MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
More than a physical highway, the Ports-to-Plains Corridor ushers hundreds of thousands of travelers into Corridor communities, not only boosting local economies, but also increasing and enhancing businesses located along the nine-state route. Hotels, restaurants, gas stations, outlet malls, office parks, theme parks, convention centers and sporting venues are all examples of businesses that directly benefit from strong infrastructure. Without strong roads, businesses in both small towns and large cities along the Corridor will continue to see more congestion, resulting in fewer travelers, unsafe roadways and expensive wear and tear, such as broken water lines and power outages. Infrastructure gaps not only affect how many travelers are spending money within your community, but also directly impact the expendable income of those who live there. According to a report by the American Society for Civil Engineers, continued underinvestment in our highways will cost each U.S. family approximately $3,400 a year over the next decade. The Ports-to-Plains Alliance is committed to improving transportation infrastructure and, in turn, improving the economic and business interests that are the lifeblood of the Ports-to-Plains region. Over the past two decades, Alliance members have raised nearly two billion dollars in federal and state funding for road improvements in the Ports-to-Plains region, while helping member businesses that utilize the Corridor grow and thrive.
