CENTRALLY LOCATED
A LITTLE FURTHER…
Quality of life is determined by more than great places to eat, entertainment, and transportation of a city. Easily accessed and perfectly situated between Dallas and Little Rock, along Interstate 30, the twin cities of Texarkana, Arkansas and Texarkana, Texas, have always been a central source of metropolitan conveniences, commerce, and transport to the surrounding region. DRIVING DISTANCES FROM TXK With the urban cities of Dallas, Texas 167 miles west and Little Rock, Arkansas only 140 miles east, Texarkana is a gateway for trade and is accessed conveniently through a nexus of highways, railways, trucking lines, freight carriers, bus lines, and airports. The twin cities cover 71.5 square miles and are key players in the commerce and transportation of the region. With 39 freight terminals, one million tons of products are shipped out of the cities annually, and thousands of pounds of raw and consumer goods are brought in. Union Pacific and Kansas City Southern railroads help carry the load as more than 90 freight trains travel through Texarkana daily. Amtrak is also available with daily rail passenger service. Greyhound Bus Line provides close to 40 connections daily if you are looking to get out of town, and Texarkana Urban Transit District bus service provides the answer if you are looking to get around town. Texarkana Regional Airport is also a convenience of living in Texarkana and makes multiple round-trip flights to Dallas every day. All these options and our access to Interstate 30 and Interstate 49, and a number of Texas and Arkansas state highways, make transporting products or people through the area a breeze. As Texarkana is continuously growing, flexible transportation options are helping us get ready for a future full of possibilities, and they are providing the convenience of accessibility for all our needs today.
