=== Transport ===

==== Roads ====
Aschaffenburg is located on [[Bundesautobahn 3]] between [[Frankfurt am Main]] and [[Würzburg]]. The southern terminus of [[Bundesautobahn 45]] is located just west of the town. Bundesstrasse B 26 passes through the town. Bundestrasse B 8 used to pass through Aschaffenburg, but has now been rerouted along the [[Bundesautobahn 3]]. Three road bridges cross the river [[Main (river)|Main]] at Aschaffenburg: [[Friedrich Ebert]] Bridge (a new span opened in 2008), Willigis Bridge and [[Konrad Adenauer]] Bridge. In the 1980s, a road tunnel was constructed under the Schlossplatz to improve traffic flow through the ''Stadtmitte'' (town center).

After 43 years of planning and construction, the limited-access ''Innenstadtring'' or "inner-town-ring" road was completed in July 2013. It allows motorists to bypass the ''Stadtmitte'' (town center) and reduces traffic congestion in Aschaffenburg, which has been a problem in recent years. Another road project called ''Bahnparallele'' is currently under construction, with a small section already opened. It is located in the ''Stadtteil'' of Damm and runs parallel to the railway tracks.

==== Parking ====
There are approximately 7,500 parking spaces in the ten ''Stadtteile'' of Aschaffenburg and eight public parking garages.

===== Public transport =====
Aschaffenburg has a comprehensive bus network serving the town and surrounding region. The 15 main bus lines which serve the ''Stadtteile'' of Aschaffenburg are run by ''[[Stadtwerke Aschaffenburg]]''. There are several other bus lines which link Aschaffenburg with the surrounding region. Those lines are run by other companies, including the [[Deutsche Bahn]]. A new regional bus terminal opened in 2008, adjacent to the [[Aschaffenburg Hauptbahnhof]] (main railway station). The ''Regionale Omnibusbahnhof Aschaffenburg (ROB)'' was built to consolidate all of the scattered bus stops in the area around the main railway station into one central location and reduce traffic congestion in the area.

==== Railway stations and stops ====
* ''[[Aschaffenburg Hauptbahnhof]]/Aschaffenburg Central Station'' - The station has long-distance [[InterCityExpress]] and [[InterCity]] services as well as regional connections to neighboring towns and cities.
