Whitehorse Transit operates city buses and there are taxis operating in town.

The Trans-Canada Trail runs through the city, and there are some bike trails.

Regulation of Whitehorse taxi operators has traditionally been lax. Drivers have been charged with sexual assault in separate incidents in 2009 and 2017; a 2010 report found drug dealers were riding in cabs to make deliveries and drivers were attempting to operate as taxi dispatchers (taking calls, making handwritten notes) while behind the wheel of a moving cab. The city is belatedly moving to curb the worst of the abuses, prohibiting distracted driving, requiring proper dispatch facilities and record keeping, strengthening criminal record checks and requiring a video camera in every taxi. Unsafe conditionstaxis should be reported to the city at +1 867 667-2111.

Taxis are metered and cost $4.50 plus $2.25/km; a trip from downtown to the airport is $18.
