The City of Dallas in
conjunction with other cities, counties and organizations have
created the River of Trade Corridor Coalition (ROTCC) to protect
the traditional NAFTA trade corridor across Texas. A consensus of
intent and objectives were identified at their organizational
meeting in Dallas on September 16, 2004.
This organization has
formed in response to the state's Trans-Texas Corridor Plan, a
plan to divert NAFTA trade traffic away from existing Interstate Highways. These
communities, like CorridorWatch.org, believe that the Trans Texas
Corridor plan will impact millions of Texans, threaten tens of
thousands of companies, risk hundreds of thousands of jobs, and
result in billions of dollars in lost tax revenue.
