Ports to Plains Alliance
Welcome to Ports-to-Plains Alliance, a non-profit, bipartisan, grassroots alliance of more than 200 partner communities and businesses across nine states. We advocate for a robust international transportation infrastructure to promote economic security and prosperity throughout North America’s energy and agricultural heartland including Mexico to Canada.
It is critical that the infrastructure is upgraded and modernized to meet the needs of trade and economic activity. The Alliance currently advocated for a four-lane divided highway or interstate highway connecting our communities to domestic and international markets across North America.
