How freight moves in Maryland
Freight in Maryland runs on I-95, I-70, I-68, I-81, I-83 and I-97. Ocean and river cargo moves through Port of Baltimore. The state's economy leans on port logistics and automobile shipping (Port of Baltimore), biotechnology and life sciences, federal government and defense contracting and poultry and Eastern Shore agriculture, and that is most of what moves on its roads.
