Transportation

There are approximately 84 miles of roads in Pound Ridge. Approximately 83% of these are Town~owned. The others are State and County roadways that form the backbone of the Town‘s roadway system; they are High Ridge, Long Ridge, Salem, Stone Hill, Redford-Pound Ridge Road, and Westchester Avenue. Many of these roads date to pre-revolutionary times. Although extensively modified over the years to improve their condition, function and capacity, all remain two-lane roads without traffic signals. Older Town-owned roads closely follow the contours and features of the land. They were designed to avoid large trees, rock outcroppings and other environmental features. By doing so, these roads add to the scenic and semi-rural ambiance that defines the Town's character.

Passenger rail service to and from NYC is available to Town residents on the Harlem and New Haven lines of Metro-North Railroad. The nearest train stations to Pound Ridge are in New Canaan (New Haven Line), and along the Harlem Line in Katonah, Bedford Hills, and Mount Kisco. The Amtrak stop in Stamford connects long-distance commuters with Boston and Washington.
