Reinventing Michigan to become a world

trading center means developing

infrastructure that will meet the modern day

demands of an international economy.

Canada is Michigan’s largest trade partner and shared over $70 billion in two-way trade in 2011.

Thirty-four other states rely on Canada as their largest trading partner; more than $597 billion passed between the two countries in 2011.

Based on the trade volume, Detroit is the busiest border crossing in North America but currently also serves as the biggest bottleneck in the entire Pan-American freeway system with no freeway-to-freeway connection.

Increasing trade volumes and continued congestion demonstrates the need for additional capacity at the border.

NITC will provide direct freeway-to-freeway connection, which is essential to efficient trade. That is why hundreds of groups, businesses and organizations around the state have endorsed this project.

The freeway-to-freeway link will attract more businesses to Michigan and provide a vital economic boost to the region.

NITC will be built at no expense to Michigan taxpayers as Canada has committed $550 million for the Michigan portion of the crossing (freeway connection and customs).

The bridge will be built, financed and eventually managed by private businesses through a public/private partnership, with Michigan and Canada still owning this valuable infrastructure.

$550 Canadian investment can also be used as leverage to match up to $2.2 billion in federal road funds for projects statewide.

Receiving this federal match means additional job opportunities and a stronger infrastructure system for our state.

The NITC means jobs! This project will create 10,000 immediate jobs, add more than 30,000 associated jobs during construction, and retain an additional 25,000 long-term jobs.

NITC is a unique opportunity for Michigan that will support new trade, create new jobs and provide additional funds for our roads without costing Michigan taxpayers.
