===Roads and highways===
Access to Clifton is provided solely by secondary routes, with [[Virginia State Route 645 (Fairfax County)|SR 645]] being the most prominent of them. Through Clifton, SR 645 enters from the northwest as Clifton Road, then turns right at Newman Road and follows Main Street to School Street. From there, it turns left onto School Street, then turns right and becomes Clifton Road again as it exits the town to the southeast. SR 645 provides connections to the nearest primary highways, [[U.S. Route 29 in Virginia|U.S. Route 29]] to the northwest and [[Virginia State Route 123]] to the east.

[[Amtrak]] and the [[Virginia Railway Express]] (VRE) both run frequent train service through Clifton. Amtrak runs multiple lines, including the [[Cardinal (train)|Cardinal]], [[Crescent (train)|Crescent]], and [[Northeast Regional]] through the town. trains on these lines travel between [[Chicago Union Station]], [[New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal]], [[Roanoke station (Virginia)|Roanoke station]], [[New York Penn Station]], [[South Station]], and [[Springfield Union Station (Massachusetts)|Springfield Union Station]]. the VRE operates one train line through the town, the [[Manassas Line]].

VRE trains sometimes stop in the town at the [[Clifton station (VRE)]], however this is a rare occurrence that typically only takes place on the town's annual Clifton Day festival.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Clifton Day - vre |url=https://www.vre.org/special-events/clifton-day/ |access-date=December 30, 2020 |website=www.vre.org}}</ref> As the stop is rarely used, no physical station structure exists. The closest VRE stations to the town that trains regularly stop at are the [[Manassas Park station]] and the [[Burke Centre station]]. The Burke Centre Station is also serviced by the ''[[Northeast Regional]]'', one of the Amtrak train lines that runs through the town. The closest station to the town that services all train lines that pass through the town is the [[Manassas station]]. This station services Amtrak's Cardinal and Crescent services, while also servicing the Northeast Regional and the VRE's Manassas Line.
