Thank you Xander and Dan, your suggestions are very helpful. I apologize for what is probably a novice question but I'm not sure how to get the roads as an input feature to the intersect. I should clarify that I have Pro Advanced with Spatial Analyst but not Network Analyst. I was incorrect when I stated that earlier. I would prefer not to purchase the Network Analyst extension but can if needed. ... View more

Thank you everyone, you have all been awesome! I’ll give your suggestion a go tomorrow. I’m only 3 weeks into my arcGIS experience and I really appreciate the community’s willingness to help. ... View more

I have been thinking about my problem and believe that your approach would be the best approach. I was hoping you could provide a little guidance as to how I would treat the roads as lines. This would be hundreds of thousands of points to it is obviously not able to be done by hand.  ... View more

I guess that I'm not really sure how to go about creating that in the current model. I can deal with multiple returns outside of arcGIS as long as it has driving distance. ... View more

The polygons range in size from most of a western state like WY to several dividing a city. They are administrative areas and there are values for each of the polygons that I want to compare to the one in which it currently resides. (i.e., the closest polygon to facility A is polygon X. polygon X has a higher value M than the polygon facility A is currently in). I need to find this by drive time and drive distance from the facility to the edge of the polygon. Basically that means that I can't use a central point or points on vertices because there is too much precision loss. I hope this makes sense. I wish I could just share the file but that's not possible currently. ... View more

That was my initial inclination to try but it results in an error. The program indicates that the nearest location field must be a point for driving distance when I attempt to run it as such. My nearest location is a polygon which is the crux of my issue. ... View more

I do have network analysis but I don't see a way to utilize it because of the issues as stated above. ... View more

Thanks Jayanta, see my reply to Dan Patterson below for why this solution doesn't work in my instance. ... View more

I have arcGIS Pro Advanced with spatial analysis. Near will not work because I need drive distance and drive time. Unfortunately centroids will not work as the precision required is at least a mile. The main problem I have is finding the driving distance/time to the nearest polygon. If the points were not already contained in a polygon a Spatial Join set to closest and driving distance would be perfect. There are about 3,500 points and 450 polygons so removing the resident polygon is not a practical option. I would share the file or more specifics but the material is sensitive. I am reasonably new to GIS so please let me know if I can provider a better explanation. Thank you for the replies.  ... View more
