Indiana Facts
Indiana is steel country, producing more steel than any other state – 22% of the nation’s output. The state ranks among the top five producers of motor vehicle parts, assembly machines, truck and bus bodies, pharmaceuticals, and medical instruments. Indiana leads the United States in the production of compact discs and elevators.
Indiana has more interstate highways than any other state. I-65 bisects the state north to south. I-70 and I-74 divide it east and west. I-80 and I-90 bridge the northern extremes of the state. I-69 connects the northeastern manufacturing sectors with Detroit and the Great Lakes. They all merge in Indianapolis, where six-lane I-465 encircles the capital city. That’s why Indiana calls itself the Crossroads of America.
Rail is another transportation option for manufacturers. Indiana has one of the highest concentrations of rail service routes in the United States, with over 3,250 miles of mainline railroads serviced by five Class I and three Class II carriers. An additional 30 Class III carriers offer service over 1,150 miles of track.
Indiana offers 681 airports in all areas of the state. Indianapolis International Airport is served by approximately 200 scheduled passenger flights and 50 cargo flights each day.
Burns Harbor, on Lake Michigan just east of Chicago, is the only deepwater port built specifically for St. Lawrence Seaway traffic. Indiana’s two additional full service ports are on the Ohio River – Southwind Maritime Centre in Mt. Vernon and Clark Maritime Centre in Jeffersonville.
