NASCO Conference 2007: Moving North America Forward
 
For more than 13 years NASCO and its members have stood at the forefront of driving public and private sectors to unite to address strategically critical national and international trade, transportation, security and environmental issues.

THE CHALLENGE

Economists predict U.S. bound international containerized cargo will increase 350% by 2020. United States, Mexico, and Canadian exports to one another and the world are at an all time high.

We are literally facing a trade tsunami and U.S., Mexico, and Canadian infrastructure is unable to handle the burden.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Pessimists view this as an impending crisis. NASCO views these challenges as a valuable opportunity for economic development, job creation, and to improve the overall trade competitiveness of the United States, Mexico and Canada in the global marketplace.

THE SOLUTION

NASCO’s purpose is to boost economic development activity by supporting:

  • Multi-modal (rail, truck, ships, air cargo) infrastructure improvements
  • Technology and security innovations on existing infrastructure to improve security and efficiency
  • Enhanced visibility, security, and accountability of supply chains critical to every day life
  • Environmental projects to preserve quality of life and allow for future growth
  • Strengthened security in cross-border trade flows

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

The critically important role transportation and trade play in our every day lives and in our nations’ economies is dramatically undervalued and underappreciated. Critics are attempting to exploit this misunderstanding to disrupt federal, state, and local projects aimed at propelling our communities and countries forward.  These critics attempt to falsely portray NASCO as anything other than what it is: an effective and necessary advocate for efficient, secure and environmentally conscious trade and transportation.

We have updated our website to clearly articulate the purpose and objectives that have defined, and always will define, our organization.

NASCO would like to thank those of you who participated in the NASCO Conference 2007: Moving North America Forward!  Held in Fort Worth, Texas, and attended by nearly 400 delegates from Canada, the United States and Mexico, this year’s conference was a huge success by all accounts.
