Richmond benefits from a strategic location along the East Coast, serving as a major transportation crossroads. It is bisected by two major interstates: I-95 (running north-south) and I-64 (running east-west).
Public transit is provided by the Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC), which operates local bus routes and the **GRTC Pulse**, a highly successful Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line running along Broad Street. For air travel, the Richmond International Airport (RIC) provides daily flights to major domestic hubs. Passenger rail is robust, with Amtrak servicing the historic Main Street Station downtown and the busier Staples Mill Road Station in the suburbs. The city has made massive strides in bicycle infrastructure, expanding dedicated bike lanes and acting as the western terminus for the Virginia Capital Trail, a 52-mile paved pedestrian and bicycle trail linking Richmond to Williamsburg. Rideshare services, taxis, and growing networks of EV charging stations are also widely available.
