With its proximity and access to the Chesapeake Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, Washington, D.C. and all of the east coast’s major distribution routes, Maryland plays a vital role in transportation throughout the Eastern United States - and the nation.

Consider a few of Maryland's transportation infrastructure highlights:  

• Overnight trucking access to one-third of the U.S. population - 100 million people
• A deep-water, inland port that handles more than 40 million tons of cargo annually
• Two Class I railroads - CSX and Norfolk Southern - and five short lines
• Six interstate highways that link the State to every major U.S. market
• Three international airports within an hour’s drive - with BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport alone handling more than 575 million pounds of air cargo every year
