Located
within the core of a 40 mile radius, encompassing Los Angeles, Orange
County and the Inland Empire, the City of Industry enjoys numerous resources
for transportation, providing excellent support for firms located within
the city.
Firms in the city are serviced by both the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific transcontinental
railroads, both running westerly to Los Angeles and easterly toward Riverside.
Southern Pacific operates a mainline switching yard and major intermodal
(piggy-back) facility in the city which cuts delivery and transit times
substantially.
In addition, a 41-mile rail bypass opens the City of Industry directly
into both of the West Coast's largest seaports - Los
Angeles Harbor and the Port of Long
Beach.
The City of Industry is bordered by four major freeways. The Pomona Freeway
also intersects the Long Beach (710), San Gabriel River (605) and Orange
(57) Freeways, providing direct access to Orange County markets. The San
Bernardino (10) Freeway borders the city on the north.
More than 50 major trucking lines are franchised to serve the area. Overnight
delivery can be made to all major California cities, as well as Phoenix,
Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada.
Local and Los Angeles bus service is provided by the Metropolitan
Transit Authority and Foothill
Transit, while state and nationwide service is available through Greyhound
and Continental Trailways. In addition,
Metrolink, a community rail line which serves nearby communities,
has a station in the city.
Air transportation is available at any of the three leading airports serving
the Greater Los Angeles area as well as several local private airports.
The City of Industry is located 18 miles from Ontario
International Airport and approximately 40 miles from both Los
Angeles International and John
Wayne Airport. The airports have excellent air freight facilities.
Private aircraft facilities are also available at Brackett
Field in La Verne, 9 miles away, and El
Monte Airport, just 8 miles away.
