Fargo is a major transportation hub for the surrounding region. It sits at the crossroads of two major interstate highways, two transcontinental railroads and is the home of an airport.

Fargo is served by [[Hector International Airport]] (named after [[Martin Hector]]), which has the longest public runway in the state.  An [[Air National Guard]] unit and the [[Fixed-Base Operation]] Fargo Jet Center and Vic's Aircraft Sales are also at Hector.

The Fargo-Moorhead area is served by a bus service known as [[MATBUS (Fargo-Moorhead)|MATBUS]]. The bus service operates routes Monday-Saturday, many of which specifically cater to the area's college student population, who comprise half of its ridership.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.fmmetrocog.org/new/assets/documents/Transit/TDP%202016%20-%202020/2016-2020%20TDP%20Report.pdf|title=2016–2020 Transit Development Plan|date=December 2016|website=Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180623232527/http://www.fmmetrocog.org/new/assets/documents/Transit/TDP%202016%20-%202020/2016-2020%20TDP%20Report.pdf|archive-date=June 23, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Greyhound Lines]], [[Jefferson Lines]] and Rimrock Stages Trailways bus services additionally link Fargo to other communities.
