JAX Keeps Commute Times Low
Jacksonville’s smart growth strategy and well-connected infrastructure make it easier to get around, even as the city grows. Wide roadways, thoughtful urban planning and consistent investments in transportation improvements keep traffic flowing. The region is prepared to support new residents without sacrificing the convenience and livability locals already enjoy.
Major highways like I-295 and I-95 connect key areas of the city, while efficient traffic patterns and alternative routes offer options during peak travel times. Whether you live near the beaches, downtown, or the suburbs, Jacksonville’s layout keeps you moving.
There’s More Than One Way to Get Around
While many residents choose to drive, Jacksonville also offers alternative ways to commute. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) provides reliable public transportation with numerous bus routes and shuttle services across the city, making it easy to commute without a car. Since everything is a short trip away, ridesharing with Lyft or Uber is an affordable option for getting around. Or, jump on the Skyway Monorail and cruise above the streets.
From Park-n-Ride bike racks paired with pedal-friendly routes and future-forward transit planning, JAX is building a multimodal future that gives residents flexibility. Whether you’re riding to work, school, or your favorite weekend spot, Jacksonville gives you options that fit your lifestyle.
