Louisville International Airport is located fifteen minutes from downtown and enjoys easy access to interstate highways. It is served by 10 passenger airlines and a commuter line and offers nearly 100 flights daily. The airport terminal recently underwent a $41 million upgrade to its facility, including new restroom facilities, security enhancements, smoking lounge, and business center, plus additional gates and improved signage. A new Wyndham Airport hotel connected to the terminal is slated for completion in 2006. A second, smaller airport at Bowman Field provides a variety of local and state aviation services.
Louisville is at the center of three major interstates: Interstate 65 from the north or south, Interstate 64 from the east or west and Interstate 71 from the northeast. U.S. Highway 60 (Broadway) intersects the city east and west.
Louisville is laid out on a grid pattern slightly tilted on the east-west axis. Broadway (U.S. 60) divides the city north from south, and Second Street divides east from west.
The Transit Authority of River City (TARC) provides the city's bus-based mass transit system. The service area covers the Louisville metropolitan area as well as Jefferson, Oldham and Bullitt Counties; it also includes Floyd and Clark Counties in Southern Indiana, with the state of Indiana contributing to TARC's funding.
