Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles.

    Freight Can't Wait

    Freight Can’t Wait Third Edition A list of America’s most critical infrastructure projects About the Coalition The Coalition for America’s Gateways and Trade Corridors (CAGTC) is a diverse coalition of more than 60 public and private organizations dedicated to increasing federal investment in America’s multimodal freight infrastructure. In contrast to single mode interests, CAGTC’s main mission is to promote a seamless goods movement transportation system across all modes to enhance capacity tradecorridors.org and economic growth. For more information on the Coalition for America’s Gateways and Trade Corridors, please visit 202.828.9100 www.tradecorridors.org. @CAGTC Freight Can’t Wait. Freight transportation is the backbone of America’s commerce. It is an economic engine, producing millions of jobs and a higher standard of living for our population. Without the ability to quickly and cost effectively move goods, American businesses struggle to remain competitive and the overall health of the economy suffers. A campaign of strategic investment to expand capacity and increase efficiency is needed to maintain – and grow – U.S. productivity and global competitiveness. This book contains a snapshot of freight projects that stand to benefit from federal partnership and investment. Federal support, in the form of a freight-specific competitive grant program, can incentivize states and localities to finance creatively and make use of public-private partnerships. Direct federal investment can leverage the state, local and private dollar, serving as the final piece in a funding package, and make projects like those in Freight Can’t Wait a reality. Third Edition April 2019 CAGTC | Freight Can’t Wait 1 West CAGTC | Freight Can’t Wait 3 Benefits Alameda Corridor-East The project would eliminate crossing collisions, queu- ing and congestion and reduce vehicle emissions at Project the underpass while the corridor improvements would improve safety at all four crossings in Montebello.
