Moberly is served by The Omar Bradley Airport.  Commercial service is available 33 miles to the south in [[Columbia, Missouri|Columbia]] at the [[Columbia Regional Airport]] or the MO-X (an airport shuttle to and from [[Lambert-St. Louis International Airport|STL]] and [[Kansas City International Airport|MCI]]), 60 miles to the south in [[Jefferson City, Missouri|Jefferson City]] via the [[Amtrak]] station, 45 miles to the north in [[La Plata, Missouri|La Plata]] via the [[Amtrak]] station, or 55 miles to the North in [[Kirksville, Missouri|Kirksville]] at the [[Kirksville Regional Airport]].

The city is served by [[U.S. Route 63 (Missouri)|U.S. Route 63]] to the east on a bypass.  The old route is designated as both Business 63 and Morley Street and goes through town. [[U.S. Route 24 (Missouri)|U.S. Route 24]] goes through town as well.  Route M (formerly [[Route 3 (Missouri)|Route 3]]) also skirts the edge of town. Other routes include Route DD (indirectly goes to Sugar Creek Lake), EE, A, and AA (past the prison). At one time there was a Business 24 that ran from Morley Street via West Coates Street to Johnson Street to Concannon Street turning North on Holman St to current U.S. 24. This route was de-numbered in the late 1960s. State Route 22 was also multiplexed with U.S. 63 to U.S. 24. When U.S. 63 was re-routed in the mid-1960s Highway 22 was truncated to its current end at U.S. 63 near Sturgeon, MO.

The [[Norfolk Southern Railway]] serves Moberly running west toward [[Kansas City, Missouri]] and east toward [[Hannibal, Missouri]] and points on.  Norfolk Southern also runs south between Moberly and [[St. Louis, Missouri]] (via Centralia and Mexico, MO) and points on.  Moberly was once the northern terminus of the [[Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad]] that ran between Moberly and [[Boonville, Missouri]]. Much of this route is still somewhat visible in satellite images.

Moberly is home to one of Norfolk Southern's many rail yards. Norfolk Southern used to have a line that ran north from Moberly to [[Albia, Iowa]], but it was abandoned in the spring of 1992.  The line was reopened from 1993–1995 to help in recovery efforts after the great [[Flood of 1993]].  By 1997, the line was dismantled between Moberly and [[Moulton, Iowa]].

The [[Centerville, Iowa]]-owned [[Appanoose County Community Railroad]] currently operates the section from Moulton to [[Albia, Iowa]].
