The state has the transportation network to move people and goods. The net- 12th-largest rail network in the country, with almost work includes a variety of transportation modes: aviation, 3,600 miles of track, and is part of freight corridors that rail, marine, highways, transit and pathways for bicyclists and pass through Canada, Ohio and Chicago.

Moving Goods Airports are important links in the global transporta- tion network. In 2013, Michigan airports moved about Michigan is a prominent exporter, ranking eighth in the 40 million pounds of cargo. This is accomplished by both United States. In 2013, Michigan exports totaled more than dedicated carriers (FedEx, UPS) and commercial airlines $58 billion. Almost half of Michigan’s economy depends on moving cargo in the “belly” of aircraft (known as belly foreign trade. cargo). MDOT is working with airports to improve cargo In addition to producing and exporting goods, Michigan facilities and identify supply chain/logistics opportunities plays an important role in moving them. In 2012, more that aviation can support. than 34.8 percent of total U.S.-Canada trade passed through Michigan, and more than 51 percent of total Canada- Michigan has about 90 port facilities, 40 of which primarily Mexico trade. Another $20.3 billion in trade between the move freight. Most of these facilities are privately owned United States and the rest of the world moved through and operated, but MDOT ensures that highway access to Michigan. them is maintained and efficient. Several bridge, highway, rail and airport projects in this As Michigan continues to reinvent itself to create new jobs five-year program will enhance Michigan’s capabilities as a and economic growth, a key component remains a modern key link in the global economy.
