| Idling in Ohio Part of the Great Lakes region, Ohio has long been a cultural and geographical crossroads. Ohio's geographic location has proved to be an asset for economic growth and expansion. Because Ohio links the Northeast to the Midwest, much cargo and business traffic passes through its borders on its well-developed highways. Ohio has the nation's 10th largest highway network, and is within a one-day drive of 50% of North America's population and 70% of North America's manufacturing capacity. |
To the North, Lake Erie gives Ohio 312 miles of coastline, which allows for numerous seaports. There are also numerous automobile plants in Ohio that manufacture cars or car accessories.
