Ferndale is highly accessible, bisected by Interstate 5, which provides a direct route south to Seattle and north to Vancouver, British Columbia.
**Public Transit:** The Whatcom Transportation Authority (WTA) provides regular bus service connecting Ferndale to Bellingham, Lummi Nation, and other parts of the county.
**Air and Rail:** While Ferndale does not have its own commercial airport, it is just a 10-minute drive from Bellingham International Airport (BLI). The BNSF Railway runs through the city, primarily serving industrial freight traffic.
**Active Transportation:** The city is actively working to improve its pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. This includes the development of the Centennial Riverwalk and ongoing projects to add bike lanes and safe crosswalks to major arterials, though much of the town remains car-dependent.
