 Quality of Life in Stockton -
Transportation
Whether it is by land, sea, or air, the phrase "You can get anywhere from here" applies well to Stockton. A City of Stockton location provides easy access to all major markets. Interstate 5, State Highway 99, the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, and the Port of Stockton provide direct links to worldwide markets.

| No matter what mode of transportation is used, Stockton is strategically positioned for quick and cost effective distribution to major West Coast markets, to the North American Hemisphere, and to the world. |

By land, both Interstate 5 and Highway 99 border the west and east sides of town with easy access throughout Stockton. Interstate 5 is the main highway through the valley linking the major central valley cities together.

Stockton is also accessible by sea. Stockton boasts an incredible inland seaport that is capable of accommodating fully loaded 45,000 to 55,000 ton cargo vessels and partially loaded 80,000 ton vessels. The Port of Stockton itself is a 600 acre complex designed and equipped to load, unload, and store all kinds of material including general cargo, container cargo, dry bulk, and liquid bulk cargo. |
| Stockton Metropolitan Airport |
And, of course, Stockton is accessible by air. Very accessible. In fact, with its 8,650 foot air carrier certified runway and 3,050 foot general aviation runway, the Stockton Metropolitan Airport can land just about anything that flies. This is very important to such companies as Farmington Fresh that operate an air freight packing and shipping facility that flies locally grown produce to the Pacific Rim.
