The Inland Empire’s well-financed leading-edge transportation infrastructure connects business at the local, national, and international level. The region is supported by an extensive network of airports, roadways, and railways.
Railway Investment: BNSF and Union Pacific operate in the region, including plans for the recently announced Barstow International Gateway, a 4,500-acre, $1.5 billion facility – the first of its type in North America. This integrated rail facility consists of a railyard, intermodal facility and warehouses for transloading freight from smaller international containers to larger domestic containers.
Interstate Highway Corridors: Now under construction, Brightline West will connect Las Vegas and Southern California with a high-speed passenger rail system. This 218-mile, all-electric high-speed rail service will include a flagship station in Las Vegas, with additional stations in the Inland Empire’s Apple Valley, Hesperia, and Rancho Cucamonga.
Regional Airport Infrastructure: Significant and expanding airports include San Bernardino International Airport (SBD), Ontario International Airport (ONT) and Palm Springs International Airport (PSP), as well as numerous cargo and private airports. Of note, ONT is recognized as the fastest growing airport in the United States, according to Global Traveler.
