Welcome

MOTRAN continues its mission of educating elected officials and policy makers about the infrastructure needs for West Texas and the Permian Basin area

MOTRAN is participating with the States of Chihuahua and Sinaloa, as well as federal officials in Mexico regarding the planning of the La Entrada al Pacifico Corridor. The joint efforts on road and rail have helped get the corridor added to the list of federally recognized corridors in Mexico for purposes of funding for construction and improvements.

In addition, members from Sinaloa, Chihuahua, and MOTRAN are working to partner with businesses to test multi-modal freight shipments from the port and other major manufacturing areas to Texas locations to determine how to improve the movement of commerce, while ensuring safety and security at our border crossings.

Meanwhile, here at home, we continue our efforts to build a strong and reliable north-south corridor through the Permian Basin to help realize the $4.6 billion economic impact Dr. Ray Perryman concluded such a route would have.

We also continue our efforts to secure funding of the South Orient Rail Line and to improve the rail service for business here in the Basin.

Recently, we marked the 50th Anniversary of the United States Interstate Highway System, which has proved to be an invaluable transportation and economic tool for our entire nation. The Interstate system was not about meeting current demands, but rather a bold plan for the needs of future generations.

La Entrada al Pacifico is also about a vision for our future, much as the Interstate Highway System must have seemed during the 1950’s. We appreciate your support for that vision and for the future generations who will benefit from your foresight.
