Freight Planning
Central Ohio is within a one-day drive of 45% of the U.S. population which makes the region an attractive location for logistics companies and businesses. The region’s proximity to key markets as well as major freight assets like the dedicated cargo airport at Rickenbacker and Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) #138, which falls within top ten in the nation, have contributed to the region’s constant economic growth in recent decades. Over 20,500 businesses in the region are categorized as freight-reliant by the Ohio Department of Transportation.
