Why Chicago
Chicago’s strategic location in the Midwest makes it a natural hub for freight services. In addition to convenient access to rail lines and highways, Chicago is also home to two international airports (O’Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport) that draw in freight activity from all parts of the globe. O’Hare Airport, for example, transported around 1,486,327.8 freight cargo tonnage in 2016 while Midway Airport transported 21,724.7 freight cargo tonnage in 2016. Freight impacts many of the region’s sectors, including manufacturing, wholesale, and retail. As a result, it is imperative for Chicago to continue to bolster freight industry activity in the Midwest.
