Neighboring Stamford is part of the Amtrak network with regularly scheduled trains to and from Boston, along the Eastern seaboard and extending across the U.S. and Canada.
Greenwich is also bisected by two major roads, Interstate 95, a major three lane highway, and the Merritt Parkway, a wooded, scenic two lane route limited to non-commercial traffic. These roadways tie the community to New York and major cities north and south like Hartford, Boston, Washington, D.C and Albany.
