At one time, the city was the operational center of the Tidewater Southern Railway, which had its mainline down the center of Ninth Street, a major N-south road. A law passed by the city kept electric wire over this section of street running long after the railroad converted to steam power. In 2000, the last trains ran down Ninth Street and now the railroad (owned by the Union Pacific Railroad since 1983) is severed through Modesto.

The large industrial region south and east of the city is served by the Modesto and Empire Traction Railroad, a 5-mile (8-km) short line with a web of industry tracks and many customers.

The Modesto City-County Airport lies next to the Tuolumne River in the southeastern end of the city, just N of the suburb of Ceres. Air service is provided between it and San Francisco International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport by Skywest Airlines, operating as United Express under an agreement with United Airlines.

Modesto is also served by State Route 99, State Route 132, and State Route 108, the latter a seasonal highway (opening usually in May or June, closing with the first major snow) which is the main route into Stanislaus National Forest and Inyo National Forest.
