The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) maintains 16 Border Protection stations along major roadways to inspect vehicles traveling into the State. One of which is located in the City of Blythe, just west of the I-10 Bridge. The State of California is working to relocate the existing Blythe BPS to provide a facility that is sufficiently sized and equipped to accommodate necessary CDFA inspection operations.
