The Arrow line connects Redlands to San Bernardino and the Metrolink network. Esri, the mapping software company, has its headquarters here and hosts visitors and events.

I-10 is the main route, with SR-210 to the north. Trips are matched to operators near the pickup, priced all-in and tracked live.
