Transportation
People, products and parts move to and from the Woodland region by all major transportation modes. Well-planned state routes provide access to the interstate network, and California Northern Railroads provides freight service to a number of Woodland's industrial plants. Amtrak carries passengers from its Davis stop, and Greyhound bus connects Woodland to Sacramento and San Francisco daily.
Yolobus serves local transportation needs within the county, parts of Solano County, to Sacramento and to the newly expanded Sacramento International Airport, where major international airlines offer hundreds of daily flights for passengers and freight. The Watts/Woodland airport handles general aviation, cargo and executive aircraft on its 3,200-foot lighted runway. The deep-water channel Port of Sacramento, lying 79 nautical miles from the San Francisco Bay, connects the entire Northern California region to the Pacific Rim. Currently, 16 intrastate and interstate carriers and 100 independent trucking contractors carry freight daily to and from the Woodland area.
The Yolo County Transportation Management Association, a non-profit partnership of public and private employers working together to address local transportation and air-quality issues, provides resources for alternative transportation strategies.
