The Coalition for America’s Gateways and Trade Corridors (CAGTC) was established to bring national attention to the need to significantly expand U.S. freight transportation capabilities and to work toward solutions for this growing national challenge. Since its inception in 2001, CAGTC has greatly elevated the profile of our nation’s multimodal freight network through consistent outreach to Congress, the Administration, transportation stakeholders, and the media. In addition to increasing awareness of freight system needs, the Coalition aims to develop Congressional consensus for federal investment policy that supports freight mobility. Through our efforts, each successive transportation reauthorization has reflected increased dedication to improving the condition of the United States’ goods movement network.
CAGTC is comprised of over sixty representative organizations, including state DOTs, MPOs, ports, engineering firms, and freight corridors, that have come together to improve national freight policy.
