Find your FTZThe success of Pennsylvania’s ports is no accident. Building on its central placement between the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic, the state has heavily invested in building out ports and sea networks to open up commerce and trade. Our three major ports — Port of Philadelphia, Port of Pittsburgh, and Port of Erie — each contribute unique advantages for in-state and global companies. Over 67 million tons of goods come through our ports each year, representing nearly $50 billion in value.
Pennsylvania leads the U.S. with 65 operating railroads and more than 5,600 miles of track. Those rails carry nearly 170 million tons of freight each year and offer cross-state rail service from New York City to Harrisburg and Pittsburgh via the Philadelphia and Pennsylvania lines. Our more than 122,000 miles of highway allow for easy inner-state commutes as well as good transport from airports and seaports.
Going global in Pennsylvania is hassle-free thanks to six international airports as our world-class airports provide fast connections to major markets. The Philadelphia International Airport, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, Harrisburg International Airport, Lehigh-Northampton Airport, and the Erie International Airport all offer nonstop domestic and international flights, and our 125 regional airports make traveling a breeze.
