Integrated Travel continues to engage with university educators and researchers from around the world. 

 

Since 2019, Integrated Travel has been actively engaging, educating, and energizing the public, elected officials, businesses, and local leaders.

 

In 2024, Integrated Travel commissioned dozens of studies aimed at researching Freight and Passenger Rail investments between Alberta, Wyominc, Colorado, Texas and .

 

Research continues to be a foundation of presentations for legislators and communities, advocacy work, soliciting support resolutions and letters, publicity initiatives, coalition building, and project design.

 

Integrated Travel is a not-for-profit organization that advocates for the needs of rail passengers in Canada, United States and Mexico.

 

We prioritize regional concerns and collaborate with infrastructure, transportation, and community stakeholders to bring economic, environmental, and equity benefits to the region. Our goal is to reestablish safe, reliable, and sustainable passenger rail service,  serving residents and visitors in Alberta, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and Texas. The corridor starts in Edmonton Alberta, travels through Billings Montana, Casper and Cheyenne Wyoming, through Denver, San Antonio Texas, culminating in Mission Texas along the Rio Grande Valley.

 

Improved freight an passenger rail infrastructure will contribute to the well-being of people from Alberta to Texas as well as the CANAMEX Corridor.

 

The CANAMEX corridor is a series of improvements to freeways and other transportation infrastructure linking Canada to Mexico through the United States. The Canamex corridor predominently follows # 2 Highway in Alberta, entering United States at Sweetgrass Montana, then south along the I-15 corridor though Great Falls Montana, Idaho Falls Idaho, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Phoenix to Nogales on the Mexican border. 

 

We believe that a comprehensive passenger rail network, connected to other modes of transportation, will have significant positive impacts on the region's economy, environment, and transportation equity. Since 2019, we have actively engaged the public, elected officials, businesses, and local leaders through various initiatives to raise awareness and support for our cause.
