[[Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport]] is the largest airport located in Wisconsin, [[FAA airport categories|categorized]] as a medium-hub primary commercial service facility.<ref name="NPIAS Airports">{{cite web |title=NPIAS Report 2023-2027 Appendix A |url=https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/2022-10/ARP-NPIAS-2023-Appendix-A.pdf |website=[[Federal Aviation Administration]] |accessdate=December 4, 2022 |date=October 6, 2022}}</ref> [[Dane County Regional Airport]] and [[Appleton International Airport]] are classified as small-hub primary commercial airports that service the Madison and Fox Cities areas. Wisconsin is served by multiple [[intercity bus]] operators, which provide service to 71 stops and 53 cities. The following carriers provide scheduled bus service: [[Amtrak Thruway]], [[Badger Bus]], [[Flixbus]], [[Greyhound Lines]], [[Indian Trails]], [[Jefferson Lines]], [[Lamers Bus Lines]], [[Megabus (North America)|Megabus]], [[Van Galder Bus Company]], and [[Wisconsin Coach Lines]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wisconsindot.gov/Documents/travel/pub-transit/icbus-map.pdf|title=2023 Wisconsin Intercity Bus Map|access-date=September 29, 2023|archive-date=August 1, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230801144920/https://wisconsindot.gov/Documents/travel/pub-transit/icbus-map.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> Wisconsin is served by eight [[List of Interstate Highways in Wisconsin|Interstate Highways]], consisting of five [[Interstate Highway System#Primary (one- and two-digit) routes (contiguous U.S.)|primary routes]] and three [[Interstate Highway System#Auxiliary (three-digit) Interstates (contiguous U.S.)|auxiliary routes]]. The first part of this system was constructed in 1956, and its most recent expansion took place in 2015, with the addition of [[Interstate 41|I-41]] to the system. Wisconsin's longest Interstate Highway is [[Interstate 94 in Wisconsin|I-94]]. There are also fourteen [[United States Numbered Highways]] in the state of Wisconsin, which were designated beginning in 1926 and ending in the mid-1930s. There are also several [[business route]]s, usually maintained by local governments. The [[Wisconsin Department of Transportation]] maintains [[Wisconsin State Trunk Highway System|158 state trunk highways]], ranging from two-lane rural roads to limited-access freeways. These highways are paid for by the state's Transportation Fund, which is considered unique among state highway funds because it is kept entirely separate from the general fund, therefore, revenues received from transportation services are required to be used on transportation. The majority of state highway funding comes from gas taxes and vehicle registration fees.<ref>{{cite web |author = Wisconsin Department of Transportation |date = n.d. |url = http://wisconsindot.gov/Documents/about-wisdot/who-we-are/dept-overview/funding.pdf |title = How Does Wisconsin Fund Transportation? |publisher = Wisconsin Department of Transportation |access-date = January 14, 2017 |archive-date = January 31, 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170131094713/http://wisconsindot.gov/Documents/about-wisdot/who-we-are/dept-overview/funding.pdf |url-status = dead }}</ref> {{Wisconsin rail network|collapse=y}} [[Amtrak]] provides daily passenger rail service between Milwaukee and Chicago through the ''[[Hiawatha (Amtrak train)|Hiawatha]]''.
