About IPH

	About the Inland Pacific Hub The Inland Pacific Hub, or IPH, is a project to establish the Inland Pacific Region as a multi-modal global gateway to increase domestic and international commerce. IPH is a partnership established by and comprised of public and private sector representatives from Idaho and Washington. The concept was developed by a group of civic, business, and transportation leaders who are concerned that our region might not be taking full advantage of the potential economic development opportunities associated with domestic and international trade. Some of those opportunities include: ● Affordable landing fees at Spokane International Airport ● Construction of a north/south freeway ● A state-of-the-art port of entry at Eastport, ID with rail access ● A major east-west running interstate ● Two class 1 railroads ● Inland seaports in Lewiston, ID, Clarkston, WA, and Whitman County ● An ultra high-speed fiber optic network tying the region together In addition, the metro areas of San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Salt Lake City, Denver, Calgary, and Edmonton are within approximately 16 hours driving time of the Inland Pacific Hub. Our central location enables companies here to transport goods to multiple population centers in the western U.S. and Canada and, from there, to the rest of the world. Phase 1 of the project is complete (click here for the Phase 1 Scope). The final working papers and technical reports from Phase 1 are available on the Documents page. Phase 2 involves the development of a Transportation Investment and Project Priority Blueprint. Click on Phase 2 to learn more about this project. Click here to view the Phase 2 Scope of Work.
