Madison Transit – Madison sits on a narrow isthmus squeezed between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, which forces most through traffic onto a handful of corridors and gives the downtown core a distinctly compact, elongated shape. Dane County Regional Airport lies about five miles northeast of downtown, generally a 10 to 15 minute drive via East Washington Avenue or U.S. Route 51. The Beltline, State Route 30, and Interstate 39/90/94 form a loop around the southern and eastern edges of the city, useful for reaching the suburbs or bypassing downtown entirely during peak hours. Madison Metro Transit runs the local bus system, with the majority of routes funneling through a downtown transfer point near the Capitol Square and State Street. State Street itself, a pedestrian mall connecting the Capitol to the university campus, is closed to regular car traffic and remains one of the most walkable and bike friendly stretches in the city. Madison consistently ranks among the more bike commuter friendly cities in the country, with an extensive network of bike lanes and multi use paths, including routes that circle both lakes for those willing to pedal a longer distance.
