Most of the locals use their car to get around in the city, which is a great travel option, as long as you're not a budget during your vacation in Green Bay. The city has its own mass transit system, called Green Bay Metro, which provides routes that cover pretty much the entire city area, including the downtown area, which is often the sightseeing "target" of tourists, while visiting Green Bay.
The city is linked to the rest of the state through 4 major highways: US 41, which connects Green Bay to Fox Cities, Milwaukee and Fond du Lac, to the south, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan via Marinette, Oconto and Peshtigo, US 141, which starts in Green Bay and merges with US 41 to the north, 18 miles before splitting off, in order to provide access to the Upper Peninsula, via Niagara, I 43, which terminates at US 41/US 141, heading south along lake Michigan, to Milwaukee and Illinois, via Beloit, and WI 29, which has been recently modified with 4 additional lanes, in order to provide better access to western Wisconsin and Minnesota, via Eau Claire and Wausau.
