    Access is normally by road; Cuba is part of the Route 66 which once joined Chicago and Santa Monica. Route 66 in Missouri was entirely bypassed by Interstate 44 in the 1970s, with almost all signage removed from the state by 1979.

    There is a Cuba Municipal Airport (FAA LID: UBX) with two runways, but no local control tower and no scheduled air service.
