| Abstract | Border transportation planning involves the development of goals, objectives, and strategies for moving people and goods across the U.S.–Canada border. FHWA leads multiple binational stakeholders to collaboratively create safe and effective crossborder transportation. FHWA also facilitates the development and maintenance of the surface transportation system along the U.S.–Canada border to address existing and anticipated demand for cross border travel and trade while working with federal, state, regional, and local agencies, the private sector, and various stakeholders. In 2016, over 299,000 trucks, 2.2 million personal vehicles, and 3.4 million vehicle passengers crossed through the 25 Land Ports of Entry (LPOEs) along Maine's 611 miles of shared border with the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick, Canada.1,2 |
