* {{jct|I|10|state=FL}} ([[Interstate 10 in Florida|Interstate 10]]) is the main west-to-east interstate highway in the county, and serves as the unofficial dividing line between northern and southern Columbia County. It contains three interchanges within the county; the first being I-75 in Springville (Exits 296 A-B), and the other two in Five Points, north of Lake City, US 41 (Exit 301), and US 441(Exit 303). Beyond this point I-10 runs through [[Osceola National Forest]].
* {{jct|I|75|state=FL}} ([[Interstate 75 in Florida|Interstate 75]]) is the southeast-to-northwest interstate highway in the county, which enters from Alachua County at bridges over the [[Santa Fe River (Florida)|Santa Fe River]]. It has four interchanges in the county with US 41/441 in Ellisville (Exit 414), SR 47 (Exit 423), US 90 in Lake City (Exit 427) and I-10 in Springville (Exits 435 A-B).
* {{jct|US|27|state=FL}} is another southeast-to-northwest road in southwestern Columbia County, that enters from a bridge over the Santa Fe River, runs through Fort White, and leaves at another bridge over the [[Ichetucknee River]] at [[Ichetucknee Springs State Park]].
* {{jct|US|41|state=FL}} runs north from High Springs in a concurrency with US 441 until just before it reaches Lake City, Then the two routes run parallel to each other until US 41 branches off to the northwest on its way to Hamilton County, Valdosta, Georgia, and points north.
* {{jct|US|90|state=FL}} was the main west-to-east highway in the county, until it was surpassed by I-10. It enters the county from Wellborn in Suwannee County, and directly enters Lake City. East of the city, it runs along the southern edge of Osceola National Forest and serves as the address of two major prisons before crossing the Baker County Line and entering a portion of the forest itself.
* {{jct|US|441|state=FL}} runs north from High Springs in a concurrency with US 41 until just before it reaches Lake City, Then the two routes run parallel to each other, but unlike US 41, US 441 stays in Columbia County and runs straight north and south until it crosses the Georgia State Line.
* {{jct|SR|2|state=FL}} is located on the far northeast corner of the county, and has no significant intersections in the county.
* {{jct|SR|47|state=FL}} is a northeast-to-southwest road that spans from Trenton in Gilchrist County to US 41 in Lake City. North of there it becomes a hidden state road along US 41 until it reaches US Truck Route 90, then turns east, only to turn north again onto US 441 where it remains for the duration until it crosses the Florida-Georgia State Line.
* {{jct|SR|100|state=FL}} runs northwest to southeast from Hamilton County in an overlap with southbound US 41, until it reaches US 90 in Lake City, where it runs east in an overlap with that route before branching off on its own in Watertown, then runs southeast towards the Union County Line. 
* {{jct|SR|238|state=FL}} runs west to east in [[Ellisville, Florida|Ellisville]] and only exists for one and a half miles in the county, but still serves as an important route to Lake Butler in Union County.
* {{jct|SR|247|state=FL}} is a northeast to southwest road that spans from Branford in Suwannee County, and terminates at US 90 in western Lake City, just east of US 90's interchange with I-75.

===Railroads===
Columbia County has at least three existing railroad lines. The primary one is a [[Florida Gulf & Atlantic Railroad]] line formerly owned by [[CSX]], [[Seaboard System Railroad]], [[Seaboard Coastline Industries]] and [[Seaboard Air Line Railroad]] that served [[Amtrak]]'s ''[[Sunset Limited]]'' until it was truncated to [[New Orleans]] in 2005 by [[Hurricane Katrina]]. [[Lake City (Amtrak station)]] was Columbia County's only active railroad station until that point. Until 1971, Lake City was a stop on the [[Louisville and Nashville]] and [[Seaboard Coast Line]]'s ''[[Gulf Wind]]'' (New Orleans - Jacksonville). The Seaboard Air Line operated this and another passenger train in each direction through Lake City until 1966 or 1967.<ref>''Official Guide of the Railways,'' June 1966, Seaboard Air Line section</ref> Another one is owned by [[Norfolk Southern Railway]]'s Navair District (originally the [[Georgia Southern and Florida Railway]]), and runs along US 41 from Lake City through Hamilton County. A third line runs along SR 100 into Union County.
