Ambler's major means of transportation are by barge, plane, small boat, and snow machine. There are no roads linking the city to other parts of the state. A state-owned lighted, gravel airstrip, with a gravel crosswind airstrip is located one and a half miles from the city. In addition, daily scheduled services are provided out of Kotzebue, and air taxis provide charter flights. Crowley Marine Services barges fuel and supplies to Ambler each summer. Boats are used for inter-village travel and subsistence activities. ATVs and snow machines are commonly used in winter.
