Skagway is one of three Southeast Alaskan communities that is connected to the road system; Skagway's connection is via the Klondike Highway, completed in 1978.
This allows access to the lower 48, Whitehorse, the Yukon, northern British Columbia, and the Alaska Highway.
This also makes Skagway an important port-of-call for the Alaska Marine Highway — Alaska's ferry system — and serves as the northern terminus of the important and heavily used Lynn Canal corridor. (
The other Southeast Alaskan communities with road access are Haines and Hyder.)

The White Pass and Yukon Route is a railway that formerly linked Whitehorse, Yukon in Canada to Skagway, the railway's southernmost terminus.
Today, trains travel several times a week from May through September from Skagway to the small community of Carcross, approximately 45 miles south/southwest of Whitehorse.
There, passengers (mostly tourists) can make connections via bus to Whitehorse.

The Skagway Airport receives service from two bush carriers: Alaska Seaplanes, and Air Excursions.
