Transportation

Highway Infrastructure

We are situated at the crossroads of several major highways and interstates, six of which converge in Topeka, providing easy access to on and off ramps and to all points in the city. In addition, I-70 is the only interstate highway traveling from Topeka west into Colorado. Due to a $2.6 billion comprehensive transportation program, Kansas roads are ranked 4th in the nation in quality. These interstate connections have drawn more than 20 inter-and intrastate carriers to the area.

Rail

Rail service is provided by two carriers - Union Pacific, and BNSF Railway. A variety of specialized equipment and services is provided by all carriers. Piggyback service is available within a 60 mile radius.

Air

We are within a 50 minute drive to air service at the Kansas City International Airport. Airport and van shuttle is easily accessible. Two airports in Topeka service local and general aviation. Each airport has a least one Fixed Base Operator to service commercial, general aviation and military aircraft. The largest airport, Forbes Field, located within a Foreign Trade Zone, has a runway over 12,000 feet long and 200 feet wide and is a designated back-up for the Space Shuttle Program. Air cargo and package express is provided by widely recognized national firms.
