Intermodal Freight Summits

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) partnered with regional economic development agencies and other organizations at two Intermodal Summits in November 2019. These Summits helped connect importers and exporters with professionals from the transportation and logistics communities to explore expanded opportunities for intermodal service in Wisconsin.
