Transportation Strategically Located for Easy Access The Greater Clinton Region is strategically located in the center of North America along the Mississippi River, 120 miles west of Chicago and within a 500-mile radius of other major population/business centers including Minneapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Detroit, St. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City. A well designed transportation network, utilizing interstates/highways, rail, air and waterways, provides the region with a logistical advantage.  Ground TransportationUS Hwy. 30 and 67 Intersect and run directly through the city of Clinton, IA at the center of the region. These highways and nearby US 67 provide direct access for the region to I-80 and I-88. In addition, there are numerous state highways that offer good local access for both trucks and passenger vehicles. Trucking and Parcel Delivery The Region is well served by the trucking industry with more than three dozen trucking and support operations in the Region. United Parcel Service has a terminal on I-80 in nearby Davenport, IA processing 21,000 packages hourly, producing loads for 26 delivery centers in the Region and 24 hubs throughout the U.S. In addition, the U.S. Postal Service has a Regional Processing and Distribution Center in Moline, IL and Federal Express has recently expanded its Moline hub. Rail  The Region is served by Union Pacific, BNSF, and the Iowa, Chicago and Eastern Railroad (IC&E), connecting us to virtually all parts of the continental US. New rail-served intermodal facilities are currently being planned or underway in Silvis, Rochelle and Joliet, Illinois, (within 100 miles of the region). These new terminals will, in effect, reposition the Region closer to the center of North American intermodal traffic that provides service to all North American markets and east and west coast ports. Waterway The Mississippi River provides important water access to its tributary system, the Great Lakes, the Gulf of Mexico and foreign ports. It has a nine-foot channel and a ten-month navigation season. The region's barge terminals offer rail and highway access for products shipped by barge. Air Transportation The Clinton Municipal Airport lays claim to the lowest fuel prices in the area. The airport accommodates several hundred aircraft each month, from "crop dusters" to corporate jets. The Quad City International Airport, only 35 miles away has been recently upgraded and expanded to include a new passenger terminal, new taxiways, new parking areas and ramps. The airport is served by five airlines providing cost competitive as well as "stress-free" passenger service to eight non-stop hubs. The airport has a 10,000 ft. runway that can accommodate international cargo. There are three cargo facilities for every available ramp and expansion capabilities. A number of air freight companies are located at the airport including Airborne Express International, BAX Global and Emery Worldwide. A Foreign Trade Zone and U.S. Custom Office are located at the airport enabling international inbound and outbound shipments.
