No major highways enter the city limits of Annapolis. Just outside the city limits, [[Interstate 595 in Maryland|Interstate 595]]/[[U.S. Route 50 in Maryland|U.S. Route 50]]/[[U.S. Route 301 in Maryland|U.S. Route 301]] traverses the region on an east–west route, connecting the Annapolis area to [[Washington, D.C.]], and the [[Eastern Shore of Maryland]]. [[Interstate 97]] interchanges with I-595/US 50/US 301 a few miles west of Annapolis and provides the most direct link to [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore]]. [[Maryland Route 2]] also passes just outside the city limits and is the best connection to [[Southern Maryland]], while also providing an alternate route to Baltimore.

The most prominent roads directly accessing the city include [[Maryland Route 70]], which connects downtown Annapolis to US 50/US 301, and [[Maryland Route 665]], which does likewise for the southwestern portions of the city. Other state highways serving Annapolis include [[Maryland Route 181]], [[Maryland Route 387]], [[Maryland Route 393]], [[Maryland Route 435]], [[Maryland Route 436]], [[Maryland Route 450]], [[Maryland Route 788]] and [[Maryland Route 797]].

====Bus====
The Annapolis Department of Transportation (ADOT) provides bus service with eight routes, collectively branded [[Annapolis Transit]]. The system serves the city with recreational areas, shopping centers, educational and medical facilities, and employment hubs. ADOT also offers transportation for the elderly and persons with disabilities.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ci.annapolis.md.us/info.asp?page=1368|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100107045034/http://www.ci.annapolis.md.us/info.asp?page=1368|title=Annapolis.md.us|archive-date=January 7, 2010}}</ref> Several [[Maryland Transit Administration]] commuter buses also allow for access to Baltimore or Washington, D.C.

====Railway====
From 1840 to 1968, Annapolis was connected to the outside world by railroad. The [[Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway]] (WB&A) operated two electrified [[interurban]] lines that brought passengers into the city from both the South and the North. The southern route ran down King George Street and Main Street, leading directly to the statehouse, while the northern route entered town via [[Glen Burnie]]. In 1935, the WB&A went bankrupt due to the effects of the [[Great Depression]] and suspended service along its southern route, while the newly created [[Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad]] (B&A) retained service on the northern route. Steam trains of the [[Baltimore and Ohio Railroad]] also occasionally operated over the line to Annapolis, primarily for special Naval Academy movements. Passenger rail service on the B&A was eventually discontinued in 1950; freight service ceased in 1968 after the dilapidated trestle crossing the [[Severn River (Maryland)|Severn River]] was condemned. The tracks were eventually dismantled in 1976.<ref>{{Schwieterman-Leaves-Eastern|pages=109–113}}</ref>
