A main Alaskan highway, called the Richardson highway, goes through North Pole. At Delta, the fork will take the visitor to the south to Valdez or north to North Pole and Fairbanks. Big 18 wheelers bring produce, boxed goods and products from the lower 48 states via these two highways. There are many streets in North Pole that lead to stores, gas stations, schools and houses. North Pole has only one traffic light, however.
Busses take students to local schools.
You can ride the public bus from North Pole to Fairbanks 6 days a week. Delivery trucks take food to the different restaurants and stores. The Alaska Railroad train picks up fuel from the refinery in North Pole. You can see the trains three or four times a day with almost a hundred cars on them. Many fuel trucks come to pick up fuel for delivery, too.
