The Stanford Marguerite shuttle connects there. Caltrain and BART connect at the Millbrae station and for an additional fee, there are BART trains that run directly to the airport.

A number of private companies also provide shuttle transportation from the San Jose and San Francisco airports, and taxis serve the Stanford campus from both locations.
