The autobahns serving Velbert are the Aachen-Kassel [[Bundesautobahn 44|A 44]] and the Velbert-Sonnborner Kreuz [[Bundesautobahn 535|A 535]].

Velbert's [[Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn|S-Bahn]] service runs every 30 minutes [[S9 (Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn)|line S9]], from [[Recklinghausen Hauptbahnhof|Recklinghausen]] / [[Haltern am See station|Haltern am See]]&ndash;- [[Gladbeck West station|Gladbeck]] to [[Bottrop Hauptbahnhof|Bottrop]]&ndash;  [[Essen Hauptbahnhof|Essen]]-'''[[Velbert-Nierenhof station|Nierenhof]] - [[Velbert-Langenberg station|Langenberg]]-[[Velbert-Neviges station|Neviges]] - [[Velbert-Rosenhügel station|Rosenhügel]]'''-[[Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof|Wuppertal]] - [[Hagen Hauptbahnhof|Hagen]], which is an attractive line to commuters though substantially to the east of the old town of Velbert, which has no railway connection left. The operational stations serving the city are [[Velbert-Langenberg station|Langenberg]], [[Velbert-Neviges station|Neviges]], [[Velbert-Nierenhof station|Nierenhof]] and [[Velbert-Rosenhügel station|Rosenhügel]].

In 2011 most of the former railway line within the city was converted to a cyclepath. The former station buildings at Velbert-West and Velbert-Central are now restaurants, and the station at Velbert-Tönisheide is disused.  All three were on the discontinued [[Niederberg Railway]] ([[Wülfrath]]-Velbert-[[Heiligenhaus]]&ndash;[[Kettwig Stausee station|Kettwig]]).

Velbert also used to have a tram service, and was the meeting point of tramlines from [[Heidhausen]], Neviges, Wülfrath and [[Hösel]] with Heiligenhaus.  Nowadays a number of  bus routes connect Velbert to the surrounding cities.  The city belongs to the ''[[Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr]]''.
