Norristown sits near the junction of several major roads in the [[Delaware Valley|Philadelphia metropolitan area]]. Main Street, also known as [[Ridge Pike]], outside of the municipality, and Airy Street run east–west through the downtown, eventually leading to interchanges for [[Interstate 476|I-476]] (the Blue Route) and the [[Pennsylvania Turnpike]] ([[Interstate 276|I-276]]), respectively, in [[Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania|Plymouth Meeting]].  [[U.S. Route 202 in Pennsylvania|US 202]] is the major north–south route through the town, connecting it with other nearby county seats such as [[Doylestown, Pennsylvania|Doylestown]] and [[West Chester, Pennsylvania|West Chester]].  US 202 is split into a [[one-way pair]] through the municipality, as DeKalb Street is designated “US 202 North” while Markley Street is signed “US 202 South.”<ref name=adcmontgomery>{{cite map|publisher=[[ADC Map]]|title=Montgomery County, Pennsylvania |year=2006|edition=18th|scale= 1"=2000'|isbn=0-87530-775-2}}</ref><ref name=gm>{{google maps|url=https://www.google.com/maps?q=Norristown,+PA&hl=en&sll=41.117935,-77.604698&sspn=4.584767,10.821533&oq=norr&t=h&hnear=Norristown,+Montgomery+County,+Pennsylvania&z=13|title=overview of Norristown, Pennsylvania|access-date=September 22, 2014}}</ref>

Norristown is the largest multi-modal transportation hub in Montgomery County.  Numerous rail lines, bus routes, multi-use trails, and parking areas converge at the [[Norristown Transportation Center]] (NTC). [[SEPTA]] operates eight [[SEPTA Suburban Division bus routes|Suburban Division bus routes]] ({{SEPTA bus link|90|91|93|96|97|98|99}}, and {{SEPTA bus link|131}}), one interurban rapid transit route, the [[Norristown High Speed Line]] to [[69th Street Transportation Center]], and a [[SEPTA Regional Rail|Regional Rail]] line (the [[Manayunk/Norristown Line]] to [[Center City, Philadelphia|Center City Philadelphia]]) out of the NTC complex.

The Regional Rail station at the Norristown Transportation Center is one of three on the Manayunk/Norristown Line in Norristown. The other two are [[Main Street, Norristown (SEPTA station)|Main Street]] and [[Elm Street, Norristown (SEPTA station)|Elm Street]], the latter of which serves as the terminus of the line.

The NTC contains a 522-space SEPTA commuter parking garage that also contains an intercity bus terminal that was formerly used by [[Bieber Transportation Group]], [[Greyhound Lines]], and [[Martz Trailways]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Philadelphia Schedule Update|publisher=Martz Group|date=May 29, 2018|url=https://martztrailways.com/philadelphia-schedule-update/|access-date=September 11, 2019}}</ref> Several taxi companies and private bus shuttles have a presence at the Transportation Center. The [[Schuylkill River Trail]], which connects [[Philadelphia]] to [[Pottstown, Pennsylvania|Pottstown]] and runs through downtown Norristown, also passes through the NTC complex. The [[Chester Valley Trail]] will also connect to the Transportation Center in the future.
