Winnipeg is a transportation powerhouse and hub for the Canadian prairies. Located in the geographic centre of North America and the Mid-Continent Trade Corridor, Winnipeg is just 112 km (70 miles) from the U.S. border with access to a population of 100 million within a 24-hour drive.

Winnipeg is a tri-modal logistics hub (rail, air, and truck):

• Winnipeg is the only major city between Thunder Bay and Vancouver with direct rail connections to the United States via three Class 1 carriers; CN, CP and BNSF.
• Manitoba is a major hub for CN’s transcontinental rail network with key facilities such as the Symington classification yard and CN’s Claude Mongeau National Training Centre.
• Winnipeg boasts Canada’s second highest number of dedicated cargo flights.
• Manitoba is the home to seven of Canada’s top 100 for-hire trucking companies, including two of the top 10 trucking firms.

Winnipeg is home to CentrePort Canada, North America’s largest tri-modal inland port and the only trimodal inland port in Canada to provide foreign trade zone (FTZ) advantages. A brand-new Rail Park, which will occupy 665 acres at CentrePort Canada, will combine industrial infrastructure with excellent access to truck and rail.
