![]() Austin’s new, top-notch airport facilities, coupled with the intersection of Interstate Highway 35 and major U.S. and state highways, make Central Texas a convenient location for materials distribution and business travel. The city’s public transportation system and bicycle lanes provide viable alternatives to driving, although motoring around town is still popular and convenient with several major highway routes. Three of the nation’s largest cities—Dallas, Houston and San Antonio—are less than 3 hours away by road. Laredo is a major port of entry between U.S. and Mexico and is only 4 hours from Austin on I-35.
