Indiana sits at the heart of the U.S. freight transportation network. It ranks ninth among all states in railroad mileage and ranks 14th in water-borne shipping. With eight different major highways and 11,000 total highway miles, Indiana is rightly referred to as "The Crossroads of America."

Indiana also has three modern ports on the Ohio River and Lake Michigan. The state's location and transportation options allow companies to easily reach domestic and global markets.
