Intrastate freight rates for truckers are regulated by Oregon Public Utility Commission, which considers Canby inside Portland's local cartage zone. That means lower rates for shipments to and from Portland.

Aurora State Airport lies five miles west of Canby and just north of the city of Aurora and can be reached by Knight's Bridge Road.

Mulino Airport lies southeast of Canby and can be reached via Mulino Road. The Port of Portland is developing the Mulino Airport into a general aviation reliever airport.

Bus

Canby Area Transit now known as The CAT is new in town. The city-run minibus service has replaced the Tr­Met's #79 bus service. The City will continue to contract with Tri-Met on line #35 from Canby-Oregon City-Portland. The goal is to increase intra-city services, provide longer service hours and offer more service on weekends and special events.

All 4 buses are lift equipped and will have bike racks. The name of the game is getting people where they want to go..... So watch for The CAT in and around the area.
