Transportation

Auburn is highly accessible by road, situated directly along Interstate 85, which connects the city to Atlanta and Montgomery. U.S. Highway 280 also runs near the city, providing a direct route to Birmingham.

Public transit is primarily provided by **Tiger Transit**, a robust bus system operated by Auburn University that serves students, faculty, and the general public, connecting residential areas to the campus and commercial centers. The city is increasingly bike-friendly, with expanding networks of bike lanes and multi-use paths like the Town Creek Greenway.

For air travel, the **Auburn University Regional Airport (AUO)** serves private, corporate, and university aircraft, though it lacks commercial passenger service. Residents typically utilize Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (about a 1.5-hour drive) for commercial flights. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are highly active, especially during the academic year.
