Connected to It All
Building on Maryland’s strategic location, our robust transportation network gives you easy access by water, rail, road and air. That comes in handy when your business goes global.
The Port with More
The Port of Baltimore is one of America’s most efficient and capable deepwater ports. It is the largest automobile handler, tops in container berth productivity, and the leading Roll On/Roll Off port in the country. It also boasts one of the nation’s lowest cargo damage rates.
Equipped with four neo-panamax cranes, the Port of Baltimore is one of only four ports on the East Coast that can handle the new generation of supersized container ships.
Baltimore, sheltered from the Atlantic, is the closest East Coast seaport to the Midwest. Every one of its marine terminals is within one traffic light of an interchange to prime north–south and east–west cargo arteries.
Roads & Rails to All Points
A safe, efficient network of roadways connects Maryland businesses with customers and workers near and far. Five major interstates—I-95, I-70, I-68, I-83, and I-81—crisscross the state, carrying cargo and commuters.
Maryland businesses are also well served by railroads. Two Class I carriers, CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railway, provide modern, high-tech freight rail connections to the US interior, Canada, and Mexico.
Every year, millions of Marylanders get to work aboard Amtrak and Maryland’s own MARC trains. In Suburban Maryland, Metrorail trains stop at more than two dozen stations to connect people and businesses with the nation’s capital.
