Lanham benefits from excellent regional connectivity. The community is bisected by two major arterial highways: the Capital Beltway (I-495) and US Route 50, providing high-speed access to Washington D.C., Annapolis, and Baltimore.
Public transit is robust. The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) operates the Seabrook MARC Station on the Penn Line, offering direct commuter rail service to Union Station in Washington D.C. and Penn Station in Baltimore. Nearby, the New Carrollton station offers access to the Washington Metro (Orange Line), Amtrak, and additional MARC services.
Local bus transit is provided by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metrobus) and Prince George's County's own bus service, *TheBus*. While primarily a car-dependent suburb, efforts are ongoing to improve bicycle infrastructure and pedestrian pathways along major local corridors like Annapolis Road (MD Route 450).
