Interstate 14 is a proposed highway that would run from Interstate 10 in West Texas to Interstate 20 in Augusta, Georgia.

Why I-14?

Interstate Conectivity:  

Interstate 14 will connect many places to one another: it will connect forts, ports, major cities, and other highways. These connections will provide a robust transportation network.

Strategic Military impact:

The connections that I-14 makes between military installations and ports means the training of soldiers will be enhanced and many more deployment options will be available. This will increase the efficiency of our military and make our nation safer overall.

enhanced economic development:

I-14 will run through some of the poorest parts of our nation. This highway will address the impoverished areas it goes through by providing opportunity for those living there. This opportunity comes through better business and better business is better for everyone.
