Surface based trade is down by 33% year on year: Logistics Today Reports: North America's Super Corridor Coalition (NASCO) reported US trade using surface transportation between its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners Canada and Mexico fell by 33.1% in April 2009 from the same month a year earlier. Citing Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) figures, NASCO said trade was $49.7 billion for the month. April was the fourth consecutive month with a yearly decline of greater than 27%. Surface transportation consists largely of freight movements by truck, rail and pipeline, noted the NASCO report. About 88% of US trade by value with Canada and Mexico moves on land. Imports in April were up 19.5% compared to April 1999, while exports were up 24.9%.
