The McAllen MSA is well connected to the rest of the U.S. and to Mexico:
  • McAllen has 1 local International Airport and 2 additional International Airports within a 35- mile radius. McAllen Miller International Airport has daily flights into Houston (Continental Airlines) and Dallas (American Airlines) with connecting flights to other cities within the U.S. The airport also has daily direct flights to Mexico City (Continental Express), Las Vegas Nevada (Allegiant Air), and Orlando, Florida (Allegiant Air).
  • McAllen is served by US Expressway 83, a 6 lane divided highway and US 281, a 4 lane divided roadway, which is a designated I-69 corridor. U.S. Hwy 281 and 83 connect McAllen with I-37 and I-35 running North and South. The I-69 corridor, extending from Mexico City to Canada, will run through McAllen and connect with other Interstate Highways throughout the U.S.
  • McAllen sites also have rail accessibility and are located only 65 miles from a seaport.
  • McAllen currently has two Ports of Entry: Mexico International Bridge (McAllen-Hidalgo/Reynosa Bridge) and Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge. The Anzalduas Bridge is currently in the process of beginning construction and will be in operation in June 2009.
