[[File:Orlando International Airport Intermodal Terminal (38506985816).jpg|thumb|200px|left|Richland International Airport terminal]] | |||
Georgetown is primarily served by the [[Richland International Airport, Verona|Richland International Airport]] ({{wp|International Air Transport Association airport code|IATA}}: '''RCA''', {{wp|International Civil Aviation Organization airport code|ICAO}}: '''KRCA''', {{wp|Federal Aviation Administration|FAA}} {{wp|Location identifier|LID}}: '''RCA'''), which is now the region's major commercial airport. The airport is located between [[Villega, Verona|Villega]] and Georgetown, in an unincorporated portion of the county. Seven airlines provide nonstop services to seven countries, although most flights to destinations outside of Verona (and Cartadania as a whole) tend to pass through [[Sierra International Airport]]. RCA had 9,703,664 passengers take off or land at its facility and 68,778,934 pounds of cargo were processed through its facilities. Fort Mackenzie/Amari Airport, located in Amari County also provides commercial air service for the area. The [[Arcilla Regional Airport]] provides general aviation services and is located eleven miles (8 km) outside the city limits. | |||
Georgetown is set to be served by [[VeroRail]], Verona's high-speed rail system that is set to go fully online in 2024. It will connect all of Verona's major metros, and Georgetown's segment of the line is nearing completion as of June 2022. The project came at a cost of $251 billion to the commonwealth and, despite the worries of some residents, did not come with an increase to state taxes. | |||

[[Rhyno Lines|Rhyno]] provides service from a central bus terminal in Villega. The Rhyno station in Georgetown is located on Trailwood Road, about a mile west of the leisure destrict. Bus services to [[Sierra]] via the Columbia bus is located on Merryfield Avenue. | |||
The city is connected to [[IH-12]] via I-212, which runs around the city, intersects with I-12 on the east side of Georgetown, and continues around downtown until rejoining I-12 at the terminus just west of the city in Adelaide where [[IH-35]] completes the loop which forms the Georgetown Beltway. Travelers to and from Georgetown can access the Southern Beltway in either direction from I-212 in Villega to use a choice of the two bridges to cross the Amari River to reach Varina County, Arcilla, and points south. City residents also have access to [[Verona State Highway 295]], which connects the spine of Verona from [[Cara County, Verona|Cara County]], south to [[Chesapeake County, Verona|Chesapeake County]]. | |||

Transportation within the city, as well as the rest of Richland County is served by [[Richland County Metropolitan Transit Authority]]. It operates the bus, light rail, and ferry systems within the county and is an arm of the county government. It has the largest single jurisdiction transit fleet in Verona (the larger counties of Sierra, Andina, Victoria, and Sinhedes are served by the PCMTA). An extension of [[Harp Light Rail|The Harp]] light rail system from Villega to the leisure district is currently being studied. For years, Georgetown residents have debated on whether or not to extend The Harp from Villega into its borders with the apparent divide falling between younger and older residents and the potential cost to Georgetown taxpayers. In November 2016, residents voted on a referendum proposing that would extend the light rail from Villega to Georgetown with 77% for the rail extension and 23% against the extension. | |||
