One of the highlights of FreightWeekSTL 2026 will take place on Wednesday, June 10, as the St. Louis Regional Freightway hosts its annual Freight Summit.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gather in person with other industry leaders for a keynote conversation with Tracy Zea exploring the critical role of inland waterways for supply chain reliability, economic competitiveness and long-term freight system resilience. Zea will highlight the importance of renewed investment in inland waterways infrastructure and priorities that will deliver the greatest return on investment.

The event will also feature the release of the 2027 Priority Projects List with associated remarks by representatives of both the Illinois and Missouri Departments of Transportation. This valuable tool is used to advocate for support and funding for critical infrastructure improvements that strengthen the St. Louis region’s position as a world-class freight and logistics hub for national and global supply chains.

• Tracy Zea, President and CEO of Waterways Council, Inc.
• Tom Blair, St. Louis District Engineer, Missouri Department of Transportation
• Carrie Nelsen, Region 5 Engineer, Illinois Department of Transportation
