An
adequate transportation network
and easy access to the entire
metropolitan area contribute to
Baker's popularity as a great
place to live and do business. In
1998 Capitol Transportation
Corporation (CTC) began operating
service in and through Baker,
connecting the City with downtown
Baton Rouge as well as Baton
Rouge's northern, southern and
eastern communities. The City is
also served by two major highways
and several large arterials.
There are
three major state highways that
run North and South through the
fire district that served by the
Baker Fire Department, including
Highway 61, Highway 19 and Highway
67. These three highways alone are
the major truck routes North and
South that have a constant flow of
hazardous materials traveling
these routes.
Baker
maintains an identity as a place
of natural beauty, where the
business and residential
communities coexist in a spirit of
harmony and prosperity.
