Garforth is situated on the [[A63 road|A63]], which links it with the [[M1 Motorway|M1]] and the [[A1(M)]], the [[M62 Motorway|M62]] also lies close by to the south of the village.

Garforth has two railway stations. [[Garforth railway station]] lies to the north of the village centre, whist [[East Garforth railway station]], which opened in the 1980s, lies to the east of the village, both stations on the mainline route between [[Leeds]], [[York]] and North Eastern England to Scotland, and between Leeds, [[Selby]] and [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]] and the [[Yorkshire]] coastal resorts. There are also rail links to [[Manchester]], [[Newcastle upon Tyne]], [[Liverpool]] and [[Blackpool]].

Garforth's bus services are provided by [[First Leeds]] and [[Arriva Yorkshire]].

===High Speed Two===
Under proposals released on 28 January 2013, Garforth would see the [[High Speed 2]] railway line built close to the village, running adjacent to the M1 motorway. The High Speed Line would cross the existing railway line close to Thorpe Park to the west of the village. This line would carry the spur away from Leeds, towards the [[East Coast Main Line]] at [[Church Fenton]].<ref> [https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/68988/hs2-arp-000-dr-rt-55001_3-0.pdf Map], High Speed Rail Link, Retrieved 20 October 2014</ref>  (Update) The decision to cancel the eastern leg was announced by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in October 2023 at the Conservative Party Conference
