About

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, inland waterways, and the Great Lakes. These ten state have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in October 2006, demonstrating their willingness to meet freight demand through regional cooperative efforts. The MVFC is built upon the work of the Upper Midwest Freight Corridor Study (UMFCS).
