Transportation & Infrastructure

Colton was built on movement—and it still delivers. From its historic role at Colton Crossing to today’s convergence of major rail and highway systems, Colton sits at the center of the Inland Empire’s transportation network. It’s the access advantage that powers business.

Colton’s logistical network facilitates multimodal speed in shipping as well as up-to-the-minute mobility in personal and professional travel through:

Dual Class I rail

BNSF and Union Pacific—the two largest Class I railroads in the U.S.—intersect in Colton, giving your operation unmatched rail access across the western U.S. and beyond.

Omnidirectional interstate reach

Colton offers instant access to I-10 and I-215, linking you to coast-to-coast markets and key western destinations. Plus, I-10 frontage properties give your business high visibility in one of Southern California’s busiest corridors.

Convenient access to international air

Colton businesses are just minutes from two powerful air options. San Bernardino International Airport (SBD), only 9 miles away, offers cost-effective cargo service and direct flights to key U.S. markets. Ontario International Airport (ONT), just 18 miles out, is one of the nation’s busiest airports for both cargo and passengers.

Global ports

The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach—America’s busiest gateway for global trade—are less than two hours from Colton. Together, they handle nearly 30% of all U.S. imports and rank among the top 10 port complexes in the world.

Bottom line: Colton gives your business faster access, lower costs, and the infrastructure to scale.
