Bus is a popular way to reach the racecourse because of its links to Williamstown, Footscary, and Moonee Ponds via multiple routes:

• 472 - Fisher Parade stop · 77 m (1 min) walk to Riverbank entrance
• 404 - Smithfield Road stop · 28 m (1 min) walk to Stables Drive entrance

On racedays, one of the easiest ways to reach the course is via train to Flemington Racecourse Station which is located near to the main stands. All train services are wheelchair accessible and passengers who need help boarding trains should wait on the platform near the front of the train.

Tram is also a popular way to reach the course. From the corner of Elizabeth Street and Flinders Street, catch the No. 57 West Maribyrnong tram to Flemington Drive (stop 30) which is then a 450 m (5 min) walk to the main entrance. Please note, low-floor trams do not run on Route 57 and it is therefore recommended passengers using a mobility aid should catch the train to the racecourse.
