Centrally located on Route 2, the state's major east-west highway, Fitchburg is just an hour's drive from Boston, where Logan Airport and the Port of Boston provide worldwide access for both people and products. Nearby Interstates 190, 495 and 91 open travel to the north and south.
For air travelers, the City also has easy access to major airports in Boston, Worcester, Hartford CT, Providence RI, and Manchester NH. Conveniently located in an industrial area adjacent to Route 2 and minutes from I-190, the Fitchburg Municipal Airport offers a range of aviation services, including flight training, scenic flights, charter flights, aircraft maintenance, pilot supply sales and an airport restaurant. With runways of 3,500 and 4,500 feet, the airport is suitable for corporate jets and offers air charter and cargo service.
Local railroad service is also available in Fitchburg, with connections to Amtrak. The Montachusett Area Transit Authority (MART) operates a commuter rail platform in downtown Fitchburg. Located at the Intermodal Transportation Center, the commuter rail, run by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is accessible to Boston-bound riders from a number of local communities through connections with MART's bus service.
Industrial parks within the City -- and many individual local companies -- have immediate access to CSX Corp. lines and their connections to the Norfolk Southern lines.
