President Obama has been urged by supporters to further improve relations between the United States partners, Mexico and Canada. A strategy that has been proposed involves around rejuvenating and expanding the current Trilateral Leaders Summit (which was the basis of the Security and Prosperity Partnership). The strategy calls for the development of an effective North American trade and transportation plan. This transportation plan would include an "integrated multimodal transportation system".
A multimodal transportation system integrates different geographical scales from the global to the local. This allows for urban regions to have accessibility to an international market. As pictured above you can get an idea of the magnitude of this highway. It stretches from Mexico to Canada, hitting many major ports within all three nations.
With regards to regulation the policy paper entitled "North America Next" calls for balancing freight transportation standards, implementation of a special trucker visa which includes complete NAFTA truck access inside all three countries.
