Global Reach / Local Access
Maryland is centered in one of the nation's most comprehensive transportation
networks along the Eastern Seaboard. Consider a few of Maryland's
transportation infrastructure highlights:
. The Port of Baltimore, a deep-water, inland port, handles
more than 40 million tons of cargo annually. It is located closer
to the Midwest than any other Atlantic seaport.
. In Maryland, there are two Class I railroads - CSX and
Norfolk Southern - and five short lines.
. Six interstate highways link the state to every major U.S.
market, providing overnight trucking access to one-third of the
U.S. population - 100 million people.
. Three international airports are within an hour's drive
of Baltimore - with BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport alone handling
more than 575 million pounds of air cargo every year. The airport
offers a full array of cargo support services, including 24-hour
air cargo and customs services, a 395,000 square foot Air Cargo
Center and a 214-acre Foreign-Trade Zone.
