Transport in metals with a strongly anisotropic single-particle spectrum is studied. Coherent band transport in all directions, described by the standard Boltzmann equation, is shown to withstand both elastic and inelastic scattering as long as EFtau >> 1. A model of phonon-assisted tunneling via resonant states located in between the layers is suggested to explain a nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the c-axis resistivity observed in experiments.
