With a strategic location in the "Golden Triangle" of South Central Kansas, and in the center of the United States, Marion County has two of the country's major trucking routes, Interstate 50 and Interstate 77, running through it. These two highways provide access to all the major markets of the United States.
Marion County is also served by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and the Union Pacific Rail Road, and is a major throughfare for trains carrying aircraft, vehicles, building materials and other commodities to all points of the United States.
