  • Dayton has bus service (RTA), but no train or subway. If you don't have a car here, you can take the bus around the city or hire a cab (or walk- downtown Dayton itself isn't that large).

    Dayton is a small enough city so that rush hour isn't too bad, so don't worry too much if you happen to get stuck in it.

    If you're a pilot, you could fly into the small Dayton Wright Brothers airport. Other than that, if you're flying into Dayton, you'll probably arrive at Dayton International Airport.

    Its the only airport in town. Luckily it is cheaper than flying into Cincinnati, Columbus, or Indy and then driving in. Also, there are a bunch of major carriers like American, United, and Delta which fly here. A complete list is available on the web page, along with directions, and car rental info.

  • Because Dayton is not a large city, our public transportation is somewhat limited. We do have a countywide bus system, but I'd suggest renting a car. If you are staying downtown, you could probably get by on foot.

  • If you are staying downtown, the best way to go is a taxi. There are a lot of nightlife spots there, so a taxi ride shouldn't be too exspensive.

    City Bus

  • The only mass transit in Dayton is by bus. There are a few motorized trolleys too. It's pretty cheap, but I'd recommend you know where you're going beforehand. Some of the neighborhoods are rough, and you don't want to accidently get off at the wrong place. Busses in the outlying suburb areas do run, but not real often...so again, know your schedule and don't get stuck somewhere.

    Taxis...or lack thereof

  • This is a forewarning for people who may be coming here on a plane, and not intending to rent a car. Taxis here generally have to be called, not hailed.

    Getting to Dayton Aviation

  • From the Expressway - Dayton

    by Toughluck
    From US 35, take South Broadway north to West Third (unnamed red road going east to west or left to right). Go east (right) one block to South Williams. The Hoover Block is on the corner, but it looks like a regular building from this side. Turn south (right) on Williams. You'll see a walking mall and the Bicycle Shop. Parking is around the block at the next left. I missed the first two times, but then I didn't have any maps to guide me.

    by Toughluck
    The Home of Paul Lawrence Dunbar is but a six blocks from the Aviation Center. Unless it is a busy day, this mile walk is best done in a car. Have the Rangers at the Aviaition Center call ahead. The Ohio Historical Society operates the home and is not able to maintain standard hours, especially in the off season.
