Abstract	In the last decade, trade between the United States and Latin America has increased, and Latin American trade is expected to continue growing. The purpose of the Latin America Trade and Transportation Study (LATTS) is to evaluate those trade opportunities and to determine transportation infrastructure investment needs for the Southeast Transportation Alliance (Alliance) to capitalize on such trade. The Alliance is the U.S. gateway to Latin America. The 14 Alliance members are Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, and Puerto Rico.
