• Identify important
state and regional
corridors and provide
criteria related to NFN.
• Provide states with
catalogue of corridors

• Document importance
to system, economy,
state, region and
nation.
Why is PFN designation Critical?
1) Economic development
2) Program benefits
3) Focused funding and maintenance
4) Business concentration can be expected to
continue
