Transportation
Quality transportation services are essential to this section of the nation which has traditionally had the most sophisticated travel network, and Mercer is right in the heart of this area. Local and state-run trains and buses, along with two major airports situated one hour from the County, make long and short commutes readily available. Trenton-Mercer Airport's successful and continual expansion in size and service have made the airport the pride of the Mercer County transportation system.
The New Jersey Turnpike, a level, well-maintained, limited access highway, makes travel to New York City a breeze. While Interstate Route 95 connects the area to Philadelphia and points south, other county and state roadways and highways help make Mercer County an ideal place for residential and commercial growth.
