Etwah is well connected by road as well as by rail. Planned development of means of transportation and the construction of new roads are undertaken by the public works department. Roads are also constructed by the forest department to facilitate the export of forest produce in the area under its jurisdiction.
The mode of conveyance till the coming of railways were palanquins, horses, camels, and vehicles drawn by bullocks, buffaloes, horses and camels. With the construction of metalled roads speedy mechanized transport made its appearance. The bicycle is popular both in rural and urban areas. In urban areas the cycle-rickshaw is popular means of conveyance and has replaced ekkas and tongas.
There are also motor trucks and buses that serves as a mode of transport.

Etawah now lies on the northern railways with head quarters at New Delhi. There are 6 railway stations in the district, Sarai Bhupat, Jaswantnagar, Balrai, Ekdil , Bharthana and Samho.
