​Haverhill, Massachusetts, boasts a robust transportation network that connects residents and visitors to the broader Merrimack Valley and Boston metropolitan areas. The city's transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Haverhill Commuter Rail Station, which serves as the northern terminus of the MBTA's Haverhill Line. This line offers direct rail service to Boston's North Station, making it a vital link for daily commuters. 

In addition to rail service, Haverhill is a key hub for the Merrimack Valley Transit (MeVa), the Regional Transit Authority, serving sixteen cities and towns on the northeast corner of Massachusetts.  MeVa's service district is anchored by the Merrimack River and centered on the gateway cities of Lawrence, Haverhill, and Methuen while also extending to the seacoast and more rural and suburban comminates further south and east of the river. MeVa carries 3.4 million riders annually on its family of local and intercity bus routes, mini MeVa paratransit, a seasonal beach bus, and future ferry service! MeVa has implemented several initiatives to improve access, including fare-free rides, extended evening and Sunday services, and optimized routes to better serve the community. ​

For those seeking intercity travel, Haverhill is also served by Amtrak's Downeaster service, which connects the city to Portland, Maine, via Boston. This service offers additional travel options for residents and visitors alike. ​Amtrak Station Information for Haverhill (HHL)
