Central Java is connected to the [[Trans-Java Toll Road]] which currently runs from [[Merak, Banten|Merak]] in [[Banten]] to [[Probolinggo]] (planned: Banyuwangi), [[East-Java]]. Within the province the toll road starts at [[Brebes Regency|Brebes]], continuing via [[Semarang]] then turn southeast to [[Surakarta]] until east of [[Sragen Regency|Sragen]]. Along the north coast east of Semarang, the [[North Coast Road (Java)|North Coast Road]] (''Jalur Pantai Utara'' or ''Jalur Pantura'') is the main road. Losari, the Central Javanese gate at the western border on the northern coast, could be reached from [[Jakarta]] in 4 hours drive. On the southern coast, there is also a national way which run from Kroya at the Sundanese-Javanese border, through [[Yogyakarta]] to [[Surakarta]] and then to Surabaya via Kertosono in East Java.

Central Java was the province that first introduced a railway line in Indonesia. The very first line began in 1873 between Semarang and Yogyakarta by a private company,<ref>Robert Cribb, ''Historical Atlas of Indonesia'' (2000:140)</ref> but this route is now no longer used. Today there are five lines in Central Java: the northern line which runs from [[Jakarta]] via [[Semarang]] to [[Surabaya]]. Then there is the southern line from Kroya through Yogyakarta and Surakarta to Surabaya. There is also a train service between Semarang and Surakarta and a service between Kroya and Cirebon. At last there is a route between Surakarta and Wonogiri. The line between Kutoarjo and Surakarta, the line from Cirebon to Purwokerto up to Kroya and the entire north coast line (since 2014) are double-track,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2014/01/11/double-track-trans-java-line-be-operational-march.html |title=Double track for Trans-Java line to be operational in March |access-date=19 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119231003/https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2014/01/11/double-track-trans-java-line-be-operational-march.html |archive-date=19 January 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref> while second tracks from Surakarta to Kertosono (towards Surabaya) and Purwokerto-Kroya-Kutoarjo are under construction of which the latter will be finished in 2019
