Transport Connection Map

The Transport Connection Map is an online visual tool to help Network partners easily identify and directly connect with potential transport compatible partners. As a Network partner, you can use this tool to visualize the location of other sending and receiving organizations, view their Transport Profile and access the provided contact information.  

To be included on the map, simply complete the participation survey by submitting basic profile information. The information (including direct contact information) is displayed on the map as your “Transport Profile” for others to see.
