[edit] By Car

California State Highway 14, the Antelope Valley Freeway, is the primary NORTH - SOUTH route in and out of Lancaster. It ends in Los Angeles in the South and heads North to Reno, Nevada.

California State Highway 138 heads EAST out of the "next door" city of Palmdale to the south and heads WEST along Avenue D, 6 miles north of Lancaster in unincorporated Los Angeles County. CA-138 runs co-extensively with CA-14 from Avenue D to Palmdale Blvd. Highway 138 leads to the "Grapevine" area of Interstate 5 to the West, and the Inland Empire (Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario) to the East.

[edit] By Air

Palmdale Regional Airport (PMD) in the nearby city of Palmdale is served by United Airlines. Otherwise the Los Angeles area airports of LAX, Bob Hope in Burbank, Ontario, Long Beach, and John Wayne in Orange County, or Bakersfield's Meadows Field may be used as alternates if willing to drive a couple of hours.

[edit] By Rail

The Lancaster Metrolink Station is the final destination on the Metrolink Rail system's Antelope Valley Line from Los Angeles' Union Station. Other nearby stops include the Palmdale Transportation Center and the Vincent-Grade/Acton Metrolink stations in Palmdale. Amtrak, the national rail carrier also has its Thruway Bus that stops at both the Lancaster Metrolink Station and the Palmdale Transportation Center.

[edit] By Bus

Greyhound Bus Lines stops at the Lancaster Metrolink station and also at the nearby Palmdale Transportation Center. If continuing to your final destination using the local public bus system, the Antelope Valley Transit Authority, it is advisable to get off at the Palmdale Transportation Center instead, since it is the principal hub for the AVTA and you have more connection options (5) there than the Lancaster Metrolink station, which connects to only 2 lines.
