Want to live in a world of travel convenience?
Well, you can start by moving to Northeastern Pennsylvania.
That's because almost anything worth seeing or doing, buying
or selling, is just a car, train, or plane ride away!
The Penn's Northeast region is ideally situated
for companies wishing to serve a densely populated portion
of the country, from Maine to Virginia and west into Ohio.
The area enjoys easy access to six interstate
highways and is, on average, just a two-hour drive from Manhattan
and Philadelphia. Want to make truck deliveries to 93 million
North American consumers? The good news is you're just an
overnight drive away!
Another great piece of transportation news is
the return of passenger rail service from Northeastern Pennsylvania
to Metropolitan New York/New Jersey. If all goes as planned,
by 2006 you'll be able to hop on board in Scranton or a number
of stops in the Poconos, ride to Hoboken, NJ. and take the
PATH train right into Manhattan. A multi-million dollar intermodal
hub (a depot for trains, busses and taxis) will be built in
downtown Scranton as part of the project.
The following is a summary of just a few of the major travel
benefits enjoyed by the residents of Northeastern Pennsylvania:
- More than 40,000 miles of highway
with convenient access via I-80, I-81, I-78, I-476, I-380
and I-84.
- Average 2-hr. commute to New York City,
Philadelphia, Syracuse, and Harrisburg.
- Direct flights to major cities via two
major international airports:
Lehigh Valley
International Airport and
Wilkes-Barre
Scranton International Airport
- Access to more than 5,600 miles of railways,
with Cargo rail service via Norfolk Southern, Canadian Pacific
and several short lines.
- Numerous bus transportation providers
throughout the area.
- Average 2-hr. ride to major ports and
businesses located in Philadelphia and New York.
Oh - there's another benefit to working in the
area. Average daily commutes are just 20 minutes…
20 stress-free minutes that is.
So, you see? No matter when, why or how you want
to travel, living in Northeastern Pennsylvania means it's
easy to go just about anywhere - anytime!
