Transportation Infrastructure
Whether it’s rapid cost-effective delivery of the region’s bounty of products to markets across the globe, or drawing in tourists with ease to experience the region’s bountiful attractions, North Central Florida’s transportation infrastructure keeps prosperity flowing through:
Highway and Interstate
Three major commercial corridors, I-75, I-95 and I-10, intersect in the region, opening one-day highway delivery to Southeastern markets including Florida’s high-value consumer market.
Class I Rail
A region-wide rail system powered by CSX and Norfolk Southern assure comprehensive Class I coverage throughout the Eastern United States.
Municipal, Regional and International Air
Whether for cargo shipping or professional and personal travel, convenient and cutting-edge aviation assets keep people and products on the move with a network of nine municipal airports, two regional airports and two international airports.
Global Ports
While a central location opens timely access to all the ports of Florida’s comprehensive port network, North Central Florida is also home to some of the state’s biggest and most service-oriented ports including:
- JAXPORT (Port of Jacksonville). Florida’s largest port by volume, the multimodal JAXPORT opens opportunities in markets across the globe with a broad range of shipping capabilities, from autos and breakbulk to containerized, RoRo (roll-on, roll-off) military and more.
- Port of Fernandina. Just 22 miles from the Atlantic, Port of Fernandina offers another strategic multimodal option. Capabilities range from breakbulk to containerized to heavy lift for a wide variety of products and commodities, with rail and highway connections speeding transit.
- Port Citrus. Rail and highway access and a channel width of 225’ and depth of 12’ to 14’ make Port Citrus a significant addition to the region’s maritime portfolio.
