Public Transit System
- Millom railway station (Cumbrian Coast Line) - Served by Northern Trains on the Cumbrian Coast Line, providing regular regional rail services south to Barrow‑in‑Furness and north to Whitehaven, Workington and Carlisle; useful for commuting and regional connections, with varying frequency (typically hourly or a little less at off‑peak times).
- Local bus services - Scheduled bus routes (operated by commercial and local operators) link Millom with Barrow‑in‑Furness, Ulverston, nearby villages (including Askam and Haverigg) and other parts of Furness; frequency is higher daytime/weekday and reduced evenings/weekends.
- Taxis and private hire - Local taxi firms and private‑hire operators provide on‑demand journeys throughout Millom and to neighbouring towns, stations and airports; pre‑booking is common in rural areas.
- Community transport and dial‑a‑ride - Volunteer and community transport schemes operate minibuses and demand‑responsive services to help residents access healthcare, shopping and other essential trips where regular bus services are limited.

Cycling Infrastructure
- Cycle routes and facilities - Millom has limited dedicated on‑street cycle lanes in the town centre but benefits from quiet country lanes, coastal and estuary roads popular with cyclists; there are shared‑use paths, traffic‑calmed sections and local signing for leisure and commuter cycling, and links to nearby scenic routes for recreational cyclists.
