A. Kansas City is one of the leading centers of commerce in the central United States. The city is a major transportation hub. About 400 flights a day come and go from Kansas City International Airport. KC is one of only five U.S. cities with three intersecting interstate highways (I-70, I-29, and I-35). The city’s rail system carries 300 daily freight arrivals and departures. Kansas City ranks first in foreign trade zone space, underground storage space, greeting card publishing, frozen food storage and distribution, and hard winter wheat marketing. It ranks second in wheat flour production. Both General Motors and Ford have major plants here, ranking Kansas City eighth in the nation in auto assembly.
