The region’s location enables quick, efficient connections to both domestic and international customers.

Comprehensive Transportation Network

Phoenix offers strong multimodal connectivity through four major interstate highways (I-8, I-10, I-17, and I-40), Union Pacific and BNSF rail service, and 17 airports—including Phoenix Sky Harbor International and Mesa Gateway Airport, the future home of the first joint U.S.–Mexico inspection facility. A well-designed street and highway grid system supports reliable, high-capacity freight movement.

Reliable Infrastructure & Power

Arizona ranks second in the nation for power grid reliability, experiencing 73% fewer natural disasters than neighboring California and averaging only 33 hours of disturbances over the past decade.
