Highway Investment Needs at and Approaching International Ports of Entry

This document requests comments on a study of highway investment needs at and approaching international ports of entry. This study would supplement an earlier report on international ports of entry and transportation corridors for North American trade which the Department of Transportation (DOT) submitted to the Congress in January 1994, in accordance with sections 1089 and 6015 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), Pub. L. 102-240, 105 Stat. 1914. The Congress has asked the FHWA to conduct a study to review its distribution of funds to border regions, to develop and report recommendations to improve the distributions of such funds, to give high priority to the transportation needs of border regions, and to work with State and local governments in border regions (including requests for information about funding distribution) to assist them with planning. This will be a two-part study. The States have asked for the expansion of this study to include other international ports of entry. This will be the second study conducted by the FHWA.
