The state has a total of 3,349.5 km of highways, almost all of which is paved. 571 km of this is federal highway, 880.90 is state highway and 1,885.70 are rural roads. This includes a section of the Pan American Highway. The highway system centers on the capital and connects the state with Mexico City, Guadalajara, Ciudad Valles and north to Ciudad Ju�rezand the United States. Much of the rural highway infrastructure, especially in the Sierra Gorda area, is for the benefit of mining, agriculture and forestry. The most important of the interstate roads links the state with Mexico City metropolitan area and its market of 20 million people as well as 25 other million customers within 200 miles (320 km). The US border is a nine hour drive. To support the international transportation of goods, Quer�taro has an inner customs office that facilitates the shipment of manufactured products to foreign countries. However, the highway system is most concentrated in the municipalities of Quer�taro and San Juan del R�o and the corridor in between. Fifty five percent of the traffic along this corridor begins or terminates within the state.

Other infrastructure includes water systems, public buses, rail lines, an international airport and radio and television stations. Most of the irrigation and water-storage areas are also concentrated in the Quer�taro and San Juan del Rio municipalities. The capital is home to the state�s largest public bus terminal called the Terminal de Autobuses de Quer�taro. This station is a transfer point for many who travel north or south in the country. Other major terminals exist in Col�n, Tequisquiapan, Jalpan de Serra, San Juan del R�o, Cadereyta and Amealco de Bonfil. The state has 338.9 km of rail line, much the same as it had when they were initially built in the early 20th century. They mostly carry freight and connect the cities of San Juan del R�o, Tequisquiapan, Pedro Escobedo, Quer�taro, Col�n and El Marqu�s. The Quer�taro International
