The motto of Indiana is “The Crossroads of America.” If Indiana’s 4th District had a motto it would be the “Crossroads of the Crossroad.” The 4th district contains five of the state’s fourteen highway systems, the 6th largest air cargo transport hub in the nation, and one of the leading rail yards in the Midwest. It is clear why so many distribution centers and logistics companies call the 4th district their home. Indiana has firmly placed itself at the heart of global supply chain management. As a result, Indiana is one of the few states with an international trade surplus. As technology has created the Silicon Valley economic miracle, so, too, will logistics create an economic boom for Indiana, and the 4th district can be at the center of that economic expansion.
Many areas of our national transportation infrastructure are in need of reform. Due to poor policies and pork barrel earmarks, the days of “Bridges to Nowhere” have left strategic parts of our nation’s logistical infrastructure at risk of destroying an already weak economy.
