Split is an important transport centre for Dalmatia and the wider region. In addition to the Zagreb-Split motorway (A1), all the road traffic along the Adriatic coast on the route Zadar–Dubrovnik flows through the city. The city also has an impressive series of expressways and avenues, enabling efficient, fast transit by car around the city and its suburbs.

The Split Suburban Rail netwrok opened in early December 2006. It currently has one line, running from Split-Harbour to Kaštel Stari, but is being revamped with brand-new stations and reconstruction of existing ones. The line is expected to get a 2nd track and be fully electrified starting in 2008.
New, low-floor trains are expected as well. This line will also be lengthened, to encompass the aforementioned Split International Airport and continue on to the city of Trogir and Seget Donji. Split has a mini-metro that is to be operational by 2009.
