Mississippi Valley Freight Coalition

The Mississippi Valley Freight Coalition (MVFC) is a regional organization that cooperates in the planning, operation, preservation, and improvement of transportation infrastructure in the Mississippi Valley region. The Mississippi Valley region includes ten states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin) that share key interstate corridors, rail infrastructure, and inland and Great Lakes waterways. The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding by these states’ Departments of Transportation indicates their willingness to meet freight demand through regional cooperative efforts. The MVFC is built upon the work of the Upper Midwest Freight Corridor Study.
