About NASCO

Since 1994 North America's Corridor Coalition members have been leaders at the forefront of uniting public and private sectors to address critical national and international trade, transportation, security and environmental issues.

Spanning almost 2,500 hundred miles through the central United States, eastern and central Canada, and deep into Mexico, the NASCO trade corridor is a multi-modal transportation network that connects 71 million people and supports a large part of $1 trillion dollars in total commerce between the three nations.

NASCO members include cities, counties, states, provinces and private sector representatives along the Corridor in the United States, Canada and Mexico dedicated to maximizing the efficiency and security of existing trade and transportation infrastructure, creating jobs and improving the environment. 

The impressive, tri-national NASCO membership reflects the international scope of the Corridor and the regions it impacts. Our goal is to distinguish ourselves by leading far-reaching, aggressive actions & solutions along the entire NASCO Corridor.

NASCO’s initiatives have profound potential to transform the entirety of the Corridor into the single most attractive location to retain, expand and attract new business for the international trade, manufacturing and transportation industries, especially global supply chain and logistics and shipping industry activities requiring the highest-efficiency, lowest-cost operating environments.
 

As such, we have developed a network of contacts with public and private sector individuals, organizations, companies and public entities, institutes and centers of knowledge, as well as with regulatory and governmental entities from the local, state, provincial and Federal governments of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. 

Except for education, the best investment government ever makes at any level is in transportation infrastructure and improvements.

Through interaction and exchange of ideas and challenges, NASCO and its members are able to drive projects forward that the private and public sector players find difficult to achieve on their own. NASCO has a highly credible, 16-year track record of successful advances in policies, projects and accomplishments.

An organization like NASCO does not form overnight. To ensure it is addressing critical needs and not duplicating efforts, NASCO must constantly reevaluate and evolve as an organization without losing sight of its original purpose and foundation.

NASCO has accomplished just that.  Our effectiveness as an organization has never been greater. The benefits of involvement have never been more tangible.
