The Coalition is dedicated to raising awareness about the nation's freight needs, both on Capitol Hill and with the general public. CAGTC also aims to serve as a resource to the Administration and to Congress to provide a historical perspective and information about freight program implementation and needs. To meet these goals, the Coalition has developed various educational materials to demonstrate the vital role goods movement plays in our nation's economy and in our every day lives.

Freight infrastructure projects are often large in scale, complex, and span multiple transportation modes and jurisdictional borders, making them difficult, if not impossible, to fund through traditional distribution methods such as formula programs. For these reasons, competitive grant programs have been a longstanding policy priority for CAGTC as these programs are critical in advancing projects that improve freight network fluidity and strengthen our nation’s economy and competitiveness.
