Platinum relies heavily on air transportation for passengers and mail and cargo service. There are two gravel airstrips. A seaplane landing site is also available near Platinum, and barge services deliver goods twice a year. Boats, snowmobiles, and ATVs are used for local travel and subsistence activities. A 6.8-mile road to the south connects Platinum to the platinum ore fields of the Salmon River, but there is no road connection between Platinum and other areas of the State. A coastal trail connects Platinum with Goodnews Bay and Quinhagak and extends northward to Bethel. Additional trails connect Goodnews Bay southeast to Togiak, and north to Carter Creek, Indian River, and Jacksmith Creek, and to the Faro and Keno Creek area of the Arolik River.
