==Transportation== [[Image:ontarionorthland.jpg|thumb|The headquarters of the [[Ontario Northland Transportation Commission]] in North Bay]] North Bay is located at the easternmost junction of [[Ontario Highway 11|Highway 11]] and [[Ontario Highway 17|Highway 17]], which are both segments of the [[Trans-Canada Highway]]. The two highways share a single route through the city core, between Algonquin Avenue and an interchange at Twin Lakes, along an urban [[limited-access road]] with reduced but not fully controlled access. Major arterial streets intersect directly with the highway, while minor streets end at a network of service roads connecting them to the arterials. At Algonquin Avenue, Highway 17 continues westward to [[Sturgeon Falls, Ontario|Sturgeon Falls]] and [[Greater Sudbury|Sudbury]], while Highway 11 heads north toward [[Temiskaming Shores]]. At the eastern interchange, Highway 17 heads eastward toward [[Mattawa, Ontario|Mattawa]], [[Pembroke, Ontario|Pembroke]] and [[Ottawa]], while Highway 11 widens into a [[freeway]] and heads southerly toward [[Barrie]] and [[Toronto]]. Highway 11 and Highway 17 both formerly had [[business spur]] routes through downtown North Bay, [[Highway 11B (Ontario)#North Bay|Highway 11B]] and [[Highway 17B (Ontario)#North Bay|Highway 17B]], although both have been decommissioned by the province and are now designated only as city streets. North Bay is also served by [[Ontario Highway 63|Highway 63]], a route which extends northeasterly from the city toward [[Thorne, Ontario|Thorne]], where it crosses the [[Ottawa River]] and becomes [[Quebec Route 101]]. Due to the steep incline of Algonquin Avenue/Highway 11 as it enters North Bay from the north on Thibeault Hill, the southbound lanes are equipped with the only [[runaway truck ramp]] on Ontario's provincial highway system.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140414223100/http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/pubs/highway-construction/northern-highway-2010/northern-highway-2010.pdf "Northern Highways Program: 2010-2014]. [[Ministry of Transportation (Ontario)|Ontario Ministry of Transportation]].</ref> North Bay is served by the [[North Bay/Jack Garland Airport]], which also receives and services military flights on behalf of the adjacent [[CFB North Bay]], is home to Canadore College Aviation Campus, and site of numerous aviation companies, including Voyageur Airways and the Bombardier Aerospace CL-415 water bomber final assembly and flight testing facility. Intercity bus service in the city operates from the [[North Bay railway station]] on Station Road. The city operates a [[public transit]] system, [[North Bay Transit]].
