Access to Salem: Air, Rail, & Roads 
Air, Rail, & Roads 
Situated perfectly.  Easy access for business, customers, and employees.

Salem is strategically located in the heart of the Willamette Valley.  We offer easy access to a variety of rail services, and a strong road infrastructure.  Salem is located on the Interstate 5 corridor which serves as the backbone for freight access from California to Vancouver BC.

Air Service.  The Salem MunicipalAirport offers private air service.  If you’re doing other business in Oregon, the Portland International Airport is just an hour’s drive north of Salem for commercial flights.  Shuttle service from the Portland Airport to Salem is provided by the HUT. 

Rail Service. Salem is served by the Portland and Western, Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroads.

Roads. Not only is the City committed to constructing and maintaining a safe and reliable road system, we've invested and are planning ahead for your company's growth.  

Transit.  Salem Keizer Transit District (Cherriots) provides a critical connection to our workforce and employes through public transportation services within Salem.

Here, you're close to everything.  Salem is 60 minutes from Portland, an hour from the ocean, and no more than 90 minutes from year-round skiing, world-class windsurfing, fishing, hiking, camping, and whitewater rafting.  We're at the edge of the world-famous wine country that Gourmet Magazine calls "the next Napa."  We're also within an hour's drive of 70 percent of Oregon's population.
