1. LATTS State Briefing Report
LATTS developed individual state summaries that estimate the individual needs for each state related to maritime, airports, railroads and highway needs from increased Latin American trade. While the reports are somewhat dated, it is clear that the state's still need to consider international freight movements.

There are two different sets in this powerpoint. The first focuses on exporters from Puerto Rico, while the second is transportation through the region's gateways (ports and airports). As the origin of shipment information is used to estimate exports by State firms, it may lead to inland states seeing less reported exports than one would expect, and larger volume of exports in gateway states. This reflects the location of the exporter, and not the source of production.
To make sure the distinction is made, the line charts are for the origin of shipments. The bar charts represent trade through the region's gateways.
