How the National Freight Strategic Plan Can Benefit Shippers

摘要

Amidst continued growth in freight demand, the new plan lays out a vision for long-term investments in infrastructure, the workforce, and other essential parts of the freight system aimed at strengthening the nation's competitiveness. Every day, shippers move more than 51 million tons of freight and energy products valued at nearly $52 billion via America's transportation network. The freight network in the St. Louis, Missouri, region carries 210 million tons of inbound and outbound freight annually with a value of $6 billion.
