It’s how we get there
From the buses in Racine to the Port of Green Bay to the rail lines in Superior to the Waukesha County Airport to the roads we use every day, Wisconsin’s transportation network is the key to connecting goods to market and people to jobs.
Founded in 1971, the Transportation Development Association of Wisconsin promotes the vitality and safety of the state’s transportation system, including public transit systems, public-use airports, railroads, commercial ports, and roads.

Thank You 2024 Organizational Sponsors
Conversations, news and legislative updates. We promote the vitality and safety of Wisconsin’s transportation system, including highways, public transit systems, public-use and general aviation airports, railroads, commercial ports, and roads.
Jason Culotta, president of the Midwest Food Products Association and this year’s TDA president, joins TDA Executive Director Debby Jackson on the latest On The Go podcast episode. A self-proclaimed “rail geek”, Jason has a deep understanding of not only railroads but the entire transportation system.
The podcast explores a wide range of topics, from intermodal discussions and how the logistics of freight containers work to the supply chain and the state budget. The pair also discusses the crucial need to continually educate legislators—and their staff—about transportation issues, challenges, and opportunities. Debby and Jason also touch on TDA as an organization and its essential role in bringing together a broad mix of stakeholders to advocate for a safe, modern, interconnected transportation system.

There could be more than 100 “ghost ports” along Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan coastline. These 19th-century piers and ports—many of which are not on any current maps—exported lumber, stone, and other materials and helped "make Wisconsin what it is today."
What are Wisconsin’s ghost ports?
State archaeologist Amy Rosebrough talks with WPR's "Wisconsin Today" about searching for pier remnants in Wisconsin.
