NEW JERSEY’S UNMATCHED TRANSPORTATION NETWORK:

Fueling Manufacturing Success

With an unparalleled transportation network, New Jersey boasts an infrastructure tailored for swift and efficient movement of manufacturing products. The State’s highways, ports, and airports work in synchrony to streamline and optimize goods transportation. Boasting nearly 3,000 miles of interstate and highways, along with the nation’s highest railroad density, the transportation system provides a robust backbone for logistics.

Newark Liberty International Airport, being part of the country’s busiest airport system, complements the deep-water ports of Newark- Elizabeth and Bayonne. Furthermore, with the Port Authority’s regional air cargo network, New Jersey stands tall as the go-to gateway for cargo from across the globe. This strategic advantage empowers manufacturers in the state to outpace competitors, ensuring speedy delivery of products to their target markets.
