Alberta’s Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors is in Washington, D.C. this week.

Devin Dreeshen, who is MLA for Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, is there until Saturday with the goal of strengthening cross-border infrastructure priorities, according to a release.

Discussions will focus on improving commercial vehicle safety standards, maintaining U.S. customs and immigration pre-clearance services at Alberta airports, and advancing investments in transportation infrastructure.

“Alberta’s transportation network plays a critical role in connecting businesses to markets across North America,” says Dreeshen.
