A comprehensive bus and tram service operates 26 bus routes and five [[tram]] lines. It serves much of greater Grenoble, while a new cable car system known as the [[Métrocâble (Grenoble)|Métrocâble]] is considered for construction. Being essentially flat, Grenoble is also a bicycle-friendly city.

The [[Gare de Grenoble]] is served by the [[TGV]] rail network, with frequent high-speed services (3 hours) to and from [[Paris-Gare de Lyon]], usually with a stop at [[Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport|Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport]]. While Grenoble is not directly on any high-speed line, TGVs can run at reduced speeds on the classic network and enable such connections. [[Transport express régional|Local rail]] services connect Grenoble with [[Lyon]], and less frequently to [[Geneva]], to [[Valence, Drôme|Valence]], and to destinations to the south. [[Valence, Drôme|Valence]] and Lyon to the west provides connections with TGV services along the Rhône Valley. Rail and road connections to the south are less developed.

Grenoble can be accessed by air from [[Grenoble-Isère Airport]], [[Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport|Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport]] and [[Geneva International Airport]], with the airport bus connections being most frequent to Lyon Saint-Exupéry.

Highways link Grenoble to the other major cities in the area including the [[A48&nbsp;autoroute]] to the northwest toward [[Lyon]], the [[A49 autoroute|A49]] to the southwest toward the Rhone valley via [[Valence, Drôme|Valence]], the [[A41 autoroute|A41]] to the northeast toward [[Chambéry]], the Alps, and Italy and Switzerland.

A partial ring road around the south of the city, the Rocade Sud, connects the motorway arriving from the northwest (A48) with that arriving from the northeast (A41). A project to complete the ring road, with a tunnel under the Bastille as part of the likely routes, was rejected after its environmental impact studies.<ref>The web site of the Rocade Nord lists the two preferred routes, both of which pass under the Bastille in a long tunnel: http://www.rocade-nord.fr/index.php?id=163{{Dead link|date=August 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

From 2014 to 2017, the city of Grenoble tested the rental of seventy [[Toyota concept vehicles, 2010–19#i-Road|I-Road]] electric vehicles.

In 2016, the speed limit was lowered to {{Convert|30|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} on 80% of the streets of Grenoble and forty-two neighboring municipalities, to both improve safety and reduce pollution levels. The limit, however, remains {{Convert|50|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} on the main arteries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.placegrenet.fr/2016/02/04/circulation-in-grenoble-50-kmh-the-exception-30-kmh-the-rule/75090|title=Circulation in Grenoble: 50&nbsp;km/h the exception, 30&nbsp;km/h the rule - Place Gre'net|date=4 February 2016|access-date=24 August 2016|archive-date=31 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160831210304/http://www.placegrenet.fr/2016/02/04/circulation-in-grenoble-50-kmh-the-exception-30-kmh-the-rule/75090|url-status=dead}}</ref>
