Transportation Infrastructure

The metro Tucson region and Southern Arizona are readily connected to the global marketplace with strategic north-south/east-west rail and a well-connected highway infrastructure. Tucson is located along Interstate 10, one of only three coast-to-coast Interstates. Just a 45-minute drive south of Tucson on I-19, is the recently expanded Mariposa Port of Entry, one of the busiest ports of entry in the U.S. Mariposa boasts some of the shortest wait times on the U.S.-Mexico border. Located on Union Pacific’s main line, Tucson is home to the Port of Tucson, an inland port, intermodal facility and business park located in Tucson’s Foreign Trade Zone.
