The Williamsburg (Amtrak station) is located at 468 North Boundary Street in Williamsburg, Virginia. It is known locally as the Williamsburg Transportation Center and features a restored building which is a former Chesapeake and Ohio Railway station now owned by Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. It is served by several Amtrak trains a day, with direct service to Newport News, Richmond, and points along the Northeast Corridor from Washington DC through New York City to Boston.

The Williamsburg Transportation Center is an intermodal passenger facility. In addition to Amtrak service, intercity bus service is provided by Greyhound Lines (Carolina Trailways) and Hampton Roads Transit (HRT).

In addition to being within walking distance of the College of William and Mary and downtown Williamsburg, the center also offers several modes of local transportation. Williamsburg Area Transport (WAT) uses the center as a transfer hub for its network of eight handicapped accessible transit bus routes serving the city, James City County, and most portions of York County adjacent to the Williamsburg area, with hourly service leaving the center 6 days a week during daytime and evening hours. WAT buses are equipped with bicycle racks. Taxicabs and rental cars are also available at the transportation center.
