TRANSPORTATION

With the beautiful banks of the Mississippi River to the east, the Prosperity region borders both Wisconsin and Illinois. Our geographic location and direct access to major transportation networks make us a centralized hub for major Midwest urban areas.The Prosperity region offers many modes of transportation to move people and goods. The map below shows airports, highways, and railroads. And with the Mississippi River in our backyard, this 1300 mile waterway links five states to the Gulf Coast export markets.

One of the current projects in progress in the Prosperity Eastern Iowa region include The Eight County Freight Plan Study, which focuses on efficient transportation for the distribution of goods through the Midwest’s interstate system. For more information, visit www.eciatrans.org.
