Once reliant on the river, the rail and the horse-drawn wagon, Dubuque
has significantly improved its transportation systems! Air and ground
transportation are quick and convenient for both business and leisure
travel. Whether it’s local, regional or international, travel to,
from and within the Dubuque area continues to be quick and efficient.
There is no such thing as “rush hour” or a traffic jam in
Dubuque. Most residents can travel from one end of town to the other
in 20 minutes or less. Most main thoroughfares are stoplight-controlled,
and other key arteries within the city are usually well-paved, wide
and able to carry traffic efficiently without lights.
