The county has several passenger trains that serve the county. The [[Harlem Line]] and the [[Hudson Line (Metro-North)|Hudson Line]] of the [[Metro-North Railroad]] run north–south in Putnam. The Harlem Line makes stops at [[Brewster (Metro-North station)|Brewster]], [[Southeast (Metro-North station)|Southeast]], and [[Patterson (Metro-North station)|Patterson]]. The Hudson Line makes stops at [[Manitou (Metro-North station)|Manitou]], [[Garrison (Metro-North station)|Garrison]], [[Cold Spring (Metro-North station)|Cold Spring]], and [[Breakneck Ridge (Metro-North station)|Breakneck Ridge]].<ref name="disc8">{{cite web|title=Metro North railroad|year=2008|publisher=Metro North Railroad|access-date=January 14, 2008|url=http://web.mta.info/mnr/html/mnrmap.htm}}</ref> A connection to [[Amtrak]] can be made to the south at [[Croton-Harmon (Metro-North station)|Croton-Harmon]] in upper [[Westchester County]] or to the north at [[Poughkeepsie (Metro-North station)|Poughkeepsie]] in [[Dutchess County]], both on the Hudson Line. Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan is roughly a one-hour train ride.

Until May 1958, a third commuter line, the [[New York Central]]'s [[New York and Putnam Railroad|Putnam Division]], operating between the Bronx and points in the county, served the region. With no direct connection to Grand Central Terminal (a transfer was required in the Bronx), ridership on the line was weak compared to its counterparts. Freight service was also scant. The line was eventually abandoned in waves between 1962 and 1980. The former railbed has been converted to trails, and now serves as the [[South County Trailway]], [[North County Trailway]], and [[Putnam County Trailway]] [[rail trails]].

[[Putnam Transit]], operated by the county, provides local public transportation.

In contrast to the surrounding counties, Putnam has no [[airport]].
