Get in

By Car

There are two main ways to approach Macon via the interstate system. I-16 runs into Macon from the Savannah in the southeast and I-75 runs directly through the town going north/south. I-475 splits off of I-75 north of town in Monroe County, then rejoins I-75 just before Hartley Bridge Road, south of town.

By Bus

The Macon Greyhound station is located just off I-16 on Spring Street, near downtown.

By Train

Amtrak does not stop directly in Macon, but offers bus service to and from the Atlanta station.

By Air

Macon also has its own airport, the Macon Regional Airport, which is served daily from Atlanta by Delta Connection. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is approximately 90 miles away, and can be accessed by car or shuttle service on Interstate 75.

Get around

By Foot

The downtown Macon area is very walkable, however, the city does sprawl somewhat, and travelling anywhere outside of the immediate downtown area requires an automobile.

By Bus

The Macon Transit Authority operates a fleet of buses that traverse the city. Regular fare is one dollar. The MTA also operates the MITSI (Macon Intown Trolley Service, Inc.), which costs twenty-five cents and offers guided tours of the historic downtown area.

By Car

This is the easiest way to travel through Macon, especially as many of the tourist destinations like the Museum of Arts and Sciences and the Indian Mounds are outside the downtown area.
