Three major [[interstate highway]]s run through Toledo. [[Interstate 75]] (I-75) travels north–south and provides a direct route to Detroit and Cincinnati. The [[Ohio Turnpike]] carries east–west traffic on I-[[Interstate 80|80]]/[[Interstate 90|90]]. The Turnpike serves Toledo via exits 52, 59, 64, 71, and 81. The Turnpike connects Toledo to [[Chicago]] in the west and [[Cleveland]] in the east.

In addition, there are two auxiliary interstate highways in the area. [[Interstate 475 (Ohio)|Interstate 475]] is a 20-mile bypass that begins in Perrysburg and ends in west Toledo, meeting I-75 at both ends. It is cosigned with [[US Highway 23 in Ohio|US 23]] for its first 13 miles. [[Interstate 280 (Ohio)|Interstate 280]] is a spur that connects the Ohio Turnpike to I-75 through east and central Toledo. The [[Veterans' Glass City Skyway]] is part of this route, which was the most expensive ODOT project ever at its completion. This {{convert|400|ft|m|-1|adj=on}} tall bridge includes a glass covered pylon, which lights up at night, adding a distinctive feature to Toledo's [[skyline]].<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Ohio DOT endorses design for Maumee River crossing |journal=Civil Engineering |volume=70 |issue=9 |page=12 |date=September 2000 |url=http://trid.trb.org/view.aspx?id=659547 |access-date=August 4, 2014 |via=[[Transportation Research Board]] |archive-date=August 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808050755/http://trid.trb.org/view.aspx?id=659547 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The [[Anthony Wayne Bridge]], a {{convert|3215|ft|m|adj=on}} [[suspension bridge]] crossing the [[Maumee River]], has been a staple of Toledo's skyline for more than 80 years. It is locally known as the "High-Level Bridge."

====Mass transit====
Local bus service is provided by the [[Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority]]; commonly shortened to TARTA. Toledo area Paratransit Services; TARPS are used for the disabled. Intercity bus service is provided by [[Greyhound Lines]] and [[Barons Bus Lines]]. The station is located at [[Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza (Toledo)|Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza]] which it shares with Amtrak. [[Barons Bus Lines]] also provides daily trips to [[Ann Arbor]], [[Chicago]], [[Cleveland]], [[Detroit]], [[Columbus, Ohio|Columbus]], and [[Cincinnati]]. Toledo has various cab companies within its city limits and other ones that surround the metro.

====Airports====
[[Toledo Express Airport]], located in the suburbs of Monclova and Swanton Townships, is the primary airport that serves the city. Additionally, [[Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport]] is 45 miles north. [[Toledo Executive Airport]] (formerly Metcalf Field) is a [[general aviation]] airport southeast of Toledo near the I-280 and Ohio SR 795 interchange. [[Toledo Suburban Airport]] is another general aviation airport located in [[Lambertville, Michigan|Lambertville, MI]] just north of the state border.

====Railroads at present====
[[Amtrak]], the national passenger rail system, provides service to Toledo and other major cities under the ''[[Capitol Limited (Amtrak)|Capitol Limited]]'' and the ''[[Lake Shore Limited]]''. Both lines stop at [[Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza (Toledo)|Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza]], which was built as Central Union Terminal by the [[New York Central Railroad]]—along its [[Water Level Route]]—in 1950. Of the seven Ohio stations served by Amtrak, Toledo was the busiest in fiscal year 2011, boarding or detraining 66,413 passengers.<ref name="FY2010">{{cite web |url=http://www.amtrak.com/pdf/factsheets/OHIO11.pdf |title=Amtrak Fact Sheet, Fiscal Year 2011: State of Ohio |work=[[Amtrak]] |date=December 2011 |access-date=August 4, 2014}}</ref> Freight rail service presently in Toledo is operated by the [[Norfolk Southern Railway]], [[CSX Transportation]], [[Canadian National Railway]], [[Ann Arbor Railroad (1988)|Ann Arbor Railroad]], and [[Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway (1990)|Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway]]. All except the Wheeling have local terminals; the Wheeling operates into Toledo from the east through [[trackage rights]] on Norfolk Southern to connect with the Ann Arbor and CN railroads.

====Railroads in the past====
Historically, Toledo was a major rail hub where the [[New York Central]] (later, the [[Penn Central]]), [[Baltimore and Ohio]], [[Wabash Railroad]], [[Nickel Plate Road]], [[Ann Arbor Railroad (1895–1976)|Ann Arbor Railroad]], [[Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad]], [[Pennsylvania Railroad]], [[Chesapeake and Ohio Railway]]/[[Pere Marquette Railway]], [[Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway (1916–1988)|Wheeling and Lake Erie]] railroads moved a large amount of freight to and from Toledo's many industries such as Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass, and Willys-Overland (Jeep) Motors. Most of these companies used [[Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza (Toledo)#Central Union Terminal (1950-1971)|Central Union Terminal]] on Emerald Avenue. The Ann Arbor Railroad used its station on Cherry Street. The Pennsylvania Railroad used its station on Summit Street.<ref>Railroad maps of the 1930s-40s; and Toledo Municipal corporation records.</ref><ref>{{cite journal |title=Index of Railroad Stations, 1468 |journal=Official Guide of the Railways |publisher=National Railway Publication Company |volume=87 |issue=7 |date=December 1954}}</ref>

====Interurbans====

Toledo had a [[tram|streetcar]] system and [[interurban]] railways<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.toledoblade.com/frontpage/2007/05/27/Toledo-was-hub-of-interurban-100-years-ago.html |title=Toledo was hub of interurban 100 years ago |first=David |last=Patch |work=[[The Blade (Toledo)|The Blade]] |location=Toledo |date=May 27, 2007 |access-date=August 4, 2014 |archive-date=April 29, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150429122727/http://www.toledoblade.com/frontpage/2007/05/27/Toledo-was-hub-of-interurban-100-years-ago.html |url-status=live }}</ref> linking it to other nearby towns but these are no longer in existence. Seven interurban companies radiated from Toledo. In the early 1930s, three of the seven, the Cincinnati and Lake Erie from Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, and Springfield, the Lake Shore Electric from Cleveland, and the Eastern Michigan Ry from Detroit, moved a large amount of freight and number of passengers between those heavily industrialized cities. The Great Depression and growing inter city competition from trucks on newly improved roads by the Ohio caused abandonment of all by 1938, and some interurban lines much earlier.<ref>The Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad, Keenan, Jack: Golden West Books, San Marino, CA, 1974. {{ISBN|0-87095-055-X}}: p77-79.</ref> The interurban station where all lines met and exchanged passengers was on N. Summit Street. Freight was exchanged in a rail yard with a warehouse off Lucas Street.<ref>Keenan, p 155, inc. Lucas rail yard photo.</ref>
