[[New York State Route 353|NY Route 353]] and [[Cattaraugus Creek|Skinner Hollow]] pass through the village. Cattaraugus County Route 12 (which follows the briefly designated [[New York State Route 264 (1930&ndash;1932)|NY 264]] of the 1930s), the only county route in the county to enter a village, enters the village from the northeast and terminates within the village. The village is built primarily on a hillside; the southwestern portion of the village (around Route 353) is on the highest ground, while a series of side streets run downhill from Route 353 heading northeast. Only two of the village's streets run uphill from Route 353: Rumsey Street (the easternmost tip of Waite Hollow Road) on the village's southern boundary and West Street at the peak of the hill.

Since 2013, the Seneca Transit System has provided public bus service to the village.

The [[New York and Lake Erie Railroad]] terminates at a Setterstix plant in Cattaraugus after the portion of the railway southeast of Cattaraugus was decommissioned in the early 1990s. The rail service has been disrupted by floods and landslides since the late 2000s. The right-of-way of the portion heading southeast from Cattaraugus is now the [[Pat McGee Trail]], which was established in 2005.
