Location Asset
Louisiana, and more specifically, the parishes represented in the I-12 Alliance, sets itself apart from other regions in logistical assets -- breaking through state borders and playing a significant role in both traditional and fast growing industries.

In fact, the region's installed logistics infrastructure is among the most extensive in North America. The State is home to the largest complex of river ports in the world and the largest port in the United States. Connected to the nation's agricultural and industrial heartland by extensive water, rail, and highway links, Louisiana is truly a world class logistics hub.

Transportation ways of Louisiana's I-12 Alliance

Of course, Louisiana's logistics infrastructure is not limited to ports and rivers. Louisiana's public and commercial airports can accommodate the largest aircraft and are home to some of the world's leading aerospace component manufacturers. Additionally, all of the Class 1 railroads in North America connect in Louisiana.

The alliance region represents direct connection to the primary ports, the shallow draft Port Manchac, both of the State's international airports (located in Baton Rouge and New Orleans which are less than one hour away from the most distant locations in the region), and a number of regional airports including that of Hammond, the new home of a U.S. Customs center.

In addition, despite its strong positioning as a national logistics hub, Louisiana is not resting on its laurels. The Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development organized the Louisiana Investment in Infrastructure for Economic Prosperity Commission to aid in the continuing development of the state's transportation policy and planning framework to achieve its goals today and over the next 30 years.
