Ports To Plains Corridor
The Ports-To-Plains Corridor is an existing highway corridor between the United States Mexico border at Laredo, Texas and Denver, Colorado. The reason for proposed improvements to this corridor is to expedite the transportation of goods and services from Mexico in the United States and vice versa. The Ports-To-Plains Corridor starts in South Texas and traverses through Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and ends in Colorado.
The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 made the Ports-to-Plains Corridor a National Highway System "High-priority corridor" known as Corridor 38. The High-priority designation, which applies to 80 routes or groups of routes nationally, does not create any additional design requirements and does not have a separate Federal funding source.
