Campbell is highly connected to the rest of the Bay Area through a robust transportation network. State Route 17 bisects the city, providing quick access to Interstate 280, Interstate 880, and the Santa Cruz coastline. The San Tomas Expressway also serves as a major north-south arterial for commuters.
Public transit is provided by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). The VTA light rail system runs directly through the city, with key stops at the Winchester, Campbell, and Hamilton stations, linking residents to downtown San Jose and other major employment centers. Local VTA bus routes also serve the city. For active transportation, the Los Gatos Creek Trail is a beloved paved pathway utilized heavily by cyclists, runners, and pedestrians, running parallel to the creek. The nearest major airport is Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC), located just a short drive to the north.
