Getting Around Jeffersonville: Walkability, Public Transit & Biking

Jeffersonville provides a somewhat walkable experience primarily in its downtown area, where travelers can find local shops and restaurants along the Ohio River. The historic district offers a compact setting suitable for exploring on foot. However, outside these areas, most errands and amenities require a car due to a lack of pedestrian infrastructure and spread-out neighborhoods.

Travelers will find that public transit options in Jeffersonville are limited. The Transit Authority of River City (TARC) provides some bus services, which connect Jeffersonville to Louisville and other areas. However, buses run infrequently, especially on weekends, and don't cover all possible destinations. Therefore, reliance on public transport may be inconvenient for those needing regular and fast connections.

Jeffersonville is moderately bike-friendly, particularly along the Ohio River and in downtown areas, thanks to paths like the Big Four Bridge and Ohio River Greenway. Riverside Drive is equipped with bike lanes, improving access to points of interest. While some areas lack dedicated bike lanes, making biking feasible yet potentially challenging in sharing the road, cycling remains a viable option for exploration and short trips.
