One of Racine’s strongest advantages is our unique location in the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor, which provides easy access for delivering products to U.S. and global markets.
The transportation network of four major highways, two major interstates, Amtrak passenger rail to Chicago and three international airports.
Shorter commute times and connections to the larger metropolitan areas for business and personal travel.
Wisconsin is committed to maintaining a reliable, efficient and connected highway infrastructure. From inclement weather and hazardous freight to oversize and overweight loads, Wisconsin is well equipped to keep freight moving on our high-performing roadways.
