Florida’s population is booming, and with more people comes a greater demand for goods, services, and—most importantly—efficient transportation. With over 23 million residents and an economy that’s showing no signs of slowing down, the state’s transportation infrastructure is feeling the pressure. Highways, railways, ports, and airports are all playing a bigger role in keeping the Sunshine State moving.
Why Is This Happening?
Well, a big part of it is just simple math—more people means more stuff needs to get from point A to point B. But there’s more to it. Florida’s strategic location, with access to both domestic and international markets, has made it a vital hub for the movement of goods. And thanks to the growing trend of nearshoring (relocating production facilities closer to the U.S.), even more companies are choosing Florida as their base of operations. They want to be closer to their customers, speed up delivery times, and cut costs, making Florida the perfect spot to set up shop.
