Getting Around

In Michigan, you can conveniently access the rest of the world with more than 19 airports throughout the state that offer commercial flights. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is the state’s largest airport and was recently ranked as the #1 Most satisfying North American Mega-Airport by CNN Travel.

Additionally, Gerald R. Ford Airport in Grand Rapids offers non-stop flights to more than 30 destinations across the nation and internationally. And, regional airports, including ones in Lansing, Flint, Traverse City and Marquette, create a connected location no matter where you are in the state.

Can you live in Mid-Michigan with easy access to the Great Lakes? Or, call metro-Detroit home while spending long weekends up north? Absolutely. The Great Lakes State boasts an extensive highway system, with the longest and most famous of these being the Interstate 75. This highway spans from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to Miami, providing vital links for transportation and commerce across the state. With more than 95.1 billion miles traveled on Michigan’s roadways every year, the highway system plays a critical role in connecting people, businesses and communities.

In a state that has been pegged to dominate the electric vehicle (EV) industry by 2030, having a comprehensive network of fast charging EV stations is paramount. Michigan’s Office of Future Mobility and Electrification works diligently to make the state a leader in electric vehicle (EV) adoption. As part of the effort, the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is leading the development of a state-wide DC fast charging network. By implementing these initiatives, Michigan is well on the path to creating sustainable change in the transportation sector.
