Transportation

The favored transportation option in Cheektowaga is very often a car.

There aren't many pedestrians out on the streets of Cheektowaga, although most daily needs are easy to meet without a car, and there are also a fair number of businesses nearby. The bicycle is a sometimes poor means of transportation in Cheektowaga because the terrain is not particularly flat, and the cycling infrastructure is not very extensive.
