===Transportation=== ====Roads==== Major highways include [[Interstate 95 in New York|Interstate 95]] and the [[Hutchinson River Parkway]]. Interstate 95 serves as the main route through New Rochelle, with four exits directly serving the city. The Hutchinson River Parkway, which is designated for passenger vehicles only, runs through much of the city. Substantial congestion on the parkway occurs in both directions during the morning and evening [[Rush hour|rush-hour]]. The Boston Post Road, known as Main Street in downtown New Rochelle, is used as a major artery during the morning and evening commute. Most traffic via the Post Road is short distance or fairly local, yet vehicles have utilized Route 1 during times of heavy congestion on I-95 as a re-route. ====Public transit==== The city has a [[New Rochelle (Metro-North station)|train station]] served by [[Metro-North Railroad|Metro North]] on the [[New Haven Line]] and [[Amtrak]] on the [[Northeast Corridor]] via its ''[[Northeast Regional]]'' train.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak%2Fam2Station%2FStation_Page&c=am2Station&cid=1080080550830&ssid=98 |title=Amtrak β Stations β New Rochelle, NY<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=September 25, 2004 |archive-date=September 25, 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040925221224/http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak%2Fam2Station%2FStation_Page&c=am2Station&cid=1080080550830&ssid=98 |url-status=live }}</ref> The city is also served by the [[Bee-Line Bus System]] for local service. [[Adirondack Trailways]] provides interstate bus service. Rail transit began in New Rochelle around 1848, when the New York & New Haven opened their line along Long Island Sound. After the [[American Civil War|Civil War]], proposals for new railroads reached new levels. Banking that the city would continue to grow northward, the [[New York, Westchester and Boston Railway]] Company was established to serve the large populations moving to the suburbs. Two main lines were built as part of the NYW&B; the Port Chester line and the [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]] line. While the populations of some communities served by the NYW&B did grow between 1912 and 1937, the growth was not sufficient or fast enough to provide adequate business for the railroad, and service was discontinued on December 31, 1937. ====Air travel==== [[Westchester County]] is served by [[Westchester County Airport]]. Additionally, New Rochelle is easily accessed by New York City airports ([[John F Kennedy International Airport|JFK]], [[Laguardia Airport|LaGuardia]]), and New Jersey's Teterboro and [[Newark Liberty International Airport|Newark Airport]].
