– As reported by WSJ, the Trump Administration has approved the megaproject: a 165-mile elevated Intelligent Freight Transportation System (IFTS) to streamline U.S.-Mexico Trade
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AutonomousFreightTransit—Green Corridors, LLC (GreenCorridors.com), a newly unveiled public-private logistics initiative, received approval from the White House on June 9th to construct, maintain and operate the cross-border IFTS which links Laredo, Texas with Monterrey, Mexico. The system is designed to alleviate traffic congestion at the port of entry and in both cities while significantly improving security versus the status quo.
The WSJ has highlighted the bold infrastructure project and vision in an exclusive article on June 18, 2025.
“This project represents a paradigm shift in transportation with our largest trading partner,” said Green Corridors CEO Mitch Carlson. “By separating freight from public traffic, we can significantly reduce transportation costs and solve serious congestion and safety issues.”
The project introduces a complex system of software, elevated guideways, freight terminals and an autonomous shuttle fleet, which streamlines heavy trade corridors. With the U.S. Department of State, Customs and Border Protection, and international stakeholders fully engaged, the Green Corridors megaproject is poised to become the most advanced overland freight infrastructure deployment in North America.
As reported in WSJ, a White House official noted the proposed Laredo to Monterrey project could reduce wait times for cross-border travel, improve supply-chain resilience and create additional capacity to support growing trade with Mexico.
The Green Corridors project is not supported by government funding. The company generates revenue from multiple sources in its business model, including fees charged to customers moving freight through the system. The company is backed by a consortium of private-sector leaders, infrastructure partners, and logistics innovators including the Swinbank family office in Houston, Druker Capital in New York and the Chang Robotics Fund in Jacksonville, Fla. The company anticipates breaking ground within the next 36 months. The first operations are estimated to commence in 2031.
