On February 9, 2016, the U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony R. Foxx and Department of Transport of Canada Minister Marc Gearneau, signed a Memorandum of Cooperation reaffirming their support for the Transportation Border Working Group (TBWG).
In October 2000, Transport Canada and the U.S. Department of Transportation concluded a Memorandum of Cooperation that highlighted the importance of coordinating closely on transportation initiatives along the Canada-U.S. border. The Memorandum cited the need for “increasing the degree and speed of communication” between both departments, and stressed the importance of “meeting more regularly to conduct information exchanges and discuss issues of mutual concern.”
