San Diego County hosts several freight transportation gateways. It is home to California’s largest land Port of Entry for cargo in Otay Mesa; the two maritime terminals operated by the unified port of San Diego, which is designated as a militarily strategic port; freight rail service from the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Class I railroad as well as a short line railroad connecting the downtown rail yard to the Mexican border; an airport with international cargo services. All of these freight gateways are served by an excellent Interstate and State highway and connector network.
The performance of this extraordinary network helps promote and support a thriving economy. SANDAG Freight Viewer is a resource for exploring and tracking the characteristics of this regional freight network.
The San Diego region is comprised of 18 cities and the unincorporated area, each with a unique freight profile of facilities, employment, and trade patterns. The County Profile Tool provides insights on these unique aspects.
The region's extensive network includes numerous facilities that function together to drive our diverse the economy. Our map tool allows you to explore key details and facts about each of these facilities.
SANDAG Freight Viewer is the product of SANDAG’s continuing, comprehensive freight planning program. This program enables public stakeholders as well as carriers and shippers to participate in the metropolitan planning process and identifies freight transportation assets and trends for the San Diego Region.
SANDAG Freight Viewer represents a true public-private partnership made possible by the members and friends of SANDAG’s Freight Stakeholder Working Group (FSWG). The FSWG has provided active input and guidance in designing and preparing the Freight Viewer.
To learn more about the SANDAG’s freight planning activities and freight advisory committee, please visit the freight page of the SANDAG website.
SANDAG Freight Viewer represents a highly collaborative undertaking made possible by the members and friends of the FSWG and is modeled on the nationally recognized Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s PhillyFreightFinder.
The SANDAG Freight Planning staff is dedicated to creating and sustaining a dynamic and service-oriented freight planning program that regularly engages with public and private freight leaders.

The SANDAG Freight Viewer is based on the PhillyFreightFinder, an open source web mapping application developed by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC). Both SANDAG and DVRPC hope that county planning agencies, metropolitan planning organizations and state departments of transportation, and economic development agencies can leverage this “Open Fright App” framework to further their efforts in making freight transportation data public. By utilizing the Open Freight App framework, rather than building from scratch, planning agencies can focus their time and resources on the development of data sets that can serve to improve the access to information on freight facilities and their role in economic development and transportation across the country. Open Freight App would serve as a self-hosted solution to offer these datasets to other planners, economic developers, public officials, decision-makers and the general public.
The SANDAG Freight Viewer, is a white-label, open source version of the DVRPC PhillyFreightFinder application. Both the original and SANDAG versions are available for download and open for replication by any user. This version will have no branding or color styling applied and a standardized icon set will be provided for a sample set of data. In addition, the project will include the following:
Advanced coding support is not included with this product. While staff at DVRPC and SANDAG can field general questions and assist with certain aspects of the project, formal support in the form of coding, styling, graphic design and advanced development must be done by an outside consultant. If you require more advanced support please contact us for more information..
SANDAG would like to thank Mr. Michael Ruane of DVRPC for his assistance in fielding questions from the SANDAG Data Solutions team, and his generosity in sharing the application code and best practices throughout the development of this application.
