Building the Coalition Behind America's East-West Middle Corridor
The TransAmerica Corridor is more than a transportation initiative. It is a growing coalition of public and private sector leaders working together to strengthen economic competitiveness, freight mobility along the corridor, infrastructure investment, workforce development, and regional prosperity across America.
As the official nonprofit organization advancing Congressional High Priority Corridor 3, TransAmerica Corridor, Inc. brings together businesses, communities, governments, transportation agencies, and economic development organizations to help shape the future of one of America’s most significant transportation and economic development initiatives.
Partners play a direct role in supporting corridor planning, advocacy, research, coalition building, and project development while helping create opportunities that benefit communities and industries throughout the corridor system.
Leadership
Leadership opportunities provide qualified partners with a meaningful voice in shaping corridor priorities, advancing strategic initiatives, and helping guide the future of the TransAmerica Corridor.
Advocacy
Advocacy provides partners with a unified voice in advancing transportation investments, economic development priorities, and infrastructure policies that strengthen communities and industries.
Research
Research provides partners with access to corridor data, economic insights, transportation analysis, and strategic information that support informed decision-making and long-term planning.
Networking
Networking connects partners with business leaders, elected officials, economic developers, transportation professionals, and stakeholders working to advance opportunities throughout the corridor.
Economic Development
Helps partners identify investment opportunities, attract jobs and capital, strengthen regional competitiveness, and support sustainable growth throughout the corridor.
Future Events
These provide partners with exclusive opportunities to connect, collaborate, learn, and help shape the future of the TransAmerica Corridor through conferences, summits, roundtables, and special briefings.
The Economic Development Council
The TransAmerica Corridor Economic Development Council serves as the organization’s primary advisory body and collaborative forum. The Council provides a venue where partners can help shape corridor priorities, identify opportunities, coordinate advocacy efforts, and strengthen economic development initiatives throughout the corridor system.
The TransAmerica Corridor Board of Directors is responsible for governance, fiduciary oversight, and organizational stewardship. The Economic Development Council serves a different purpose. The TAC-EDC allows partners and stakeholders to actively participate in corridor strategy, project priorities, economic development initiatives, and advocacy efforts without assuming governance responsibilities for the nonprofit organization.
The result is a stronger, more inclusive coalition capable of advancing corridor priorities across multiple states and regions.
