Since the 1980s, the incline has become one of the main tourist attractions in Johnstown, with people visiting the incline to "ride for fun, nostalgia and novelty."

CamTran's Route 18 transit bus offers connections between the incline and downtown Johnstown.
As of 2017, the cost for a ride on the incline is $3 or $5 for a roundtrip.
The one way fare for automobiles $8.
The incline takes around 90 seconds to travel between stations.
The same trip takes 10 minutes by automobile.
In 2017, the Johnstown Inclined Plane had an annual ridership of 63,7648 passengers, a decrease of 2.3 percent from the previous year.

The mechanical room housing the incline's hoisting mechanism can be viewed from windows in the gift shop and the visitor center lobby.
