Mid-America Freight Coalition (MAFC) Phase 4
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking to continue leadership of a pooled fund that will: (1) Provide guidance and solutions for state-defined freight-related research. (2) Support the BIL’s goals through multistate collaboration in freight policy, facility development, and operations harmonization. (3) Improve cross-state freight-related coordination and facility development. (4) Increase awareness of the importance of freight transportation for the states’, region’s, and nation’s economy. (5) Act as a freight professional resource to the states. (6) Provide freight professional development resources and peer to peer networking. (7) Maintain and expand the region’s reputation as freight friendly. The results of the Mid-America Freight Coalition (MAFC) activities continue to support and develop the economic well-being of the industries, businesses, farms, and the people of the 10-state region by keeping their products flowing to markets safely, reliably and efficiently. Participation in this pooled fund extends the opportunity for agencies to support research on freight and economic development issues specific to the needs of transportation agencies, advance regional freight-related coordination, assist in national freight priorities, and ultimately allow for the quick implementation of research and development efforts.
