CHAPTER 5 TRANSPORTATION
This chapter provides background on transportation elements affecting residents, commuters and businesses in the Village of Rye
Brook. These elements include the road system, public transportation, and Westchester County Airport (HPN). The moving of people
and goods is essential for any community. Community transportation assets, traffic conditions and census data are presented here to
allow the full transportation picture for the Village of Rye Brook.
5.1 Road System
The road system in the Village of Rye Brook includes limited access roadways, major arterial roadways, collector roads and local
streets. There are approximately 30 miles of roadways in the Village. Each roadway is designed to serve a different function to
move people and goods in an efficient manner. Map 5-1 Road Network on page 5-2 shows the four categories of roadways.
A. Limited Access Roadways
Limited access roadways consist of routes that do not have many
access points except at major roadway intersections, or in the case
of interstates or parkways, only have access through controlled interchanges. Some of these roadways exclude certain vehicles, such
as commercial trucks and/or buses. There are two limited access
roadways in the Village of Rye Brook:
Figure 5-1. Tappan Zee Bridge
a. Interstate 287 - is an east-west Federal interstate route that runs
through the central part of Westchester County. Interstate 287 (I287) connects to the Tappan Zee Bridge in Tarrytown and Interstate
95 (I-95) in Port Chester. This roadway is accessible for passenger
cars and commercial traffic, but does not have any access points in
the Village. Even without direct access within the Village, it is the
major east-west corridor through Westchester County and is a significant source of regional access to and from the Village.
b. Hutchinson River Parkway – is an east-west State route (also
designated as Route 907W by New York State Department of
Transportation (NYSDOT)) that runs from the New York City border to the Connecticut State Line where it continues as the Merritt
State Parkway. This roadway, limited to passenger cars use only, is
known as the ―Hutch‖ and can be accessed through three points in

the Village: Exit 28, Lincoln Avenue; Exit 29, North Ridge Street;
and Exit 30, King Street (120A). The King Street bridge over the
Hutch at Exit 30 has the most recorded bridge strikes in New York
State by tractor trailers illegally entering the Parkway (NYS Governor Press Release, October 14, 2009).
B. Major Arterial Roadways
Major arterials serve as principal through roads that connect routes,
areas or principal traffic generation sources and are accessible to
both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. There are two major
arterials in Rye Brook:
a. Westchester Avenue (Route 120A) – is an east-west State Route
that runs from I-287 in Harrison to the center of Port Chester. This
road intersects with Lincoln Avenue and North Ridge Street in the
Village of Rye Brook before continuing on to Port Chester. To the
west of North/South Ridge Street, Westchester Avenue serves as
access to the Hilton Westchester Rye Brook hotel (also known as
the Rye Town Hilton) as well as the large office buildings at 800
and 760 Westchester Avenue. To the east of North/South Ridge
Street, the road is bounded by residential neighborhoods and small
retail uses.
b. King Street (Route 120A) – is a north-south State Route that
runs from the Town of North Castle and the Town of Greenwich,
Connecticut to the north to the center of Port Chester to the south.
This road intersects with Lincoln Avenue, Anderson Hill Road, The
Hutchinson River Parkway (Route 907W) and Comly Avenue. King
Street serves as access to BelleFair at Rye Brook in the north and a
variety of municipal facilities (Village Hall and Fire House), school
properties and residential neighborhoods to the south of the Hutchinson River Parkway. King Street and its neighboring properties
traverse both Rye Brook, New York, and Greenwich, Connecticut,

in many locations resulting in coordinated responses from the local
municipalities in both states.
In 2005, the Village Board recognized an area of particular concern
at the King Street intersection with the Hutchinson River and Merritt Parkways. This area was the subject of a joint study between the
Village of Rye Brook and Greenwich, Connecticut. The study recommended that the New York State Department of Transportation
(NYSDOT) consider undertaking various improvements to improve
traffic flow. NYSDOT has not taken significant action on improvements at this intersection. See Appendix 5-1 for the study.
C. Collector Roadways
Collector roadways serve as links between major and local roadways. Within the Village, these roadways primarily move traffic
within residential and commercial areas. The collector roadways in
Rye Brook are:
a. Lincoln Avenue – is a north-south roadway, primarily residential
in character, located near the western edge of the Village beginning
at Route 120A (Westchester Avenue) continuing north to the Town/
Village of Harrison where it has access to the Hutchinson River
Parkway.
b. Bowman Avenue – is an east-west roadway located in the southwestern portion of the Village that runs from Westchester Avenue
in the east and continues west to Harrison, where it becomes Polly
Park Road. This road also has access to Lincoln Avenue. To the
east of North/South Ridge Street this road serves a variety of residential and small-scale commercial uses; to the west it serves as
access to several properties in the Village‘s commercial center, a
Village ball-field and office properties near I-287.
In 1924, the Westchester County Parks Commission recommended construction of a new north-south parkway in the eastern part of the county. At that
time, Boston Post Road (which became US 1 in 1926), the primary northsouth route along Long Island Sound between New York City and New England, had become clogged with automobile and truck traffic seven days a
week. Moreover, the rapid growth of Mount Vernon, Pelham, New Rochelle,
Eastchester and Port Chester threatened the water supply of these communities. Preservation of right
-of-way for a parkway along the Hutchinson River would offer relief along US 1 by providing a
faster, more scenic route for automobiles. It would also furnish parks for local residents and protect
water supplies. (For more information go to http://www.nycroads.com/roads/hutchinson/)

c. North/South Ridge Street – is a north-south roadway which
runs down the center of much of the Village, beginning in the north
at the intersection of King Street and the Hutchinson River Parkway
at Exit 30 and continues south, serving as a main access for the Village‘s commercial downtown, over I-287 and into Harrison. This
roadway has access to the Hutchinson River Parkway at Exit 29,
Route 120A (Westchester Avenue), Bowman Avenue (Old White
Plains Road) and High Street.
d. Anderson Hill Road – is an east-west roadway which runs in the
center of the north half of the Village, beginning at the border with
Harrison and runs east to the Connecticut State Line intersecting
with King Street. This road serves the Blind Brook County Club,
Doral Arrowwood Hotel Conference Center and residential uses
adjacent to the roadway.
D. Local Streets
Connecting to the collector roadways, local streets serve as direct
vehicular and pedestrian access to most properties in the Village.
The majority of the roadways in the Village are local residential
streets. There are approximately 34 linear miles of local streets in
the Village.
In Rye Brook, there are approximately 120 roads owned by the Village. All of these are undivided and asphalt paved. Approximately
30 miles of road runs through the Village of Rye Brook, with the
longest being Lincoln Avenue (1.5 miles). (Source: Village website and Residential Information Guide)
5.2 Scenic Road Overlay Districts
Scenic Road Overlay Districts exist in order to preserve the Village‘s ―historic resources, stone walls, natural features and views
from its roadways.‖ The zoning portion of this comprehensive plan
offers additional information regarding development in these districts.
All or part of the following roads, and the properties abutting these
roads, are included in the District:
King Street
Anderson Hill Road
North Ridge Street
Lincoln Avenue
Westchester Avenue
Bowman Avenue

5.3 Current Traffic Conditions
In the 2000 Village of Rye Brook Vision Plan the authors identified
the source of most traffic coming from either ―development in the
Village‖ or from residents and others traveling through to employment centers on the Village‘s major roads. This trend likely continues with people going to jobs and other destinations within the Village and in Harrison, Port Chester, White Plains, Armonk and Stamford, CT.
A. Traffic Growth and Trends
The 2000 Village of Rye Brook Vision Plan notes that while there
was an ―over 13 % increase in daily vehicular traffic between 1987
and 1997‖ this trend appears to be heading in the opposite direction.
More recent analysis of King Street (Route 120A) shows counts
peaking in 2005 and leveling out in 2009 with a slight increase in
2010. This is likely due to the continuing economic downturn in the
United States and the region. If the economy stays in its current low
growth, it is likely that traffic will keep a low or no-growth trend
correlating with the amount of jobs created in the area. While congestion growth remains a concern in the Village due to the decentralized employment centers in the region, recent trends suggest that this
fear is less realized than in the 2000 plan. (See Map 5-2 Traffic Volume Map on page 5-8).
B. Traffic Volume
Traffic volume is graphically shown in Map 5-2. The Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) count shows that traffic is heaviest on the
portion of I-287 that runs through the southern portion of the Village.

Westchester County
April 2012
The other limited access roadway, the Hutchinson River Parkway
(Route 907W) has the next highest AADT count. This correlates
with the road classification hierarchy system. The arterial roadways, King Street and Westchester Avenue (Route 120A) follow
the limited access roadways in AADT. Then Bowman Avenue and
Anderson Hill Road with lesser traffic volumes follow. This map
directly correlates the AADT counts performed by NYSDOT and
WCDPWT with the roadway classification system. For a further
breakdown of AADT traffic counts see Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5.

Neighborhood in Rye Brook,
New York
C. Mass Transit Growth
Trends for the railroad (Metro-North Railroad) serving the Village
via nearby rail stations show renewing growth trends. While the
railroad experienced a system-wide loss of passengers from 2008
(when the system peaked at 83 million passengers) to 2009, the
2010 passenger count of 81 million passengers was the second
highest year on record. With continued use of commuter rail in the
Village and the region, future congestion can be curbed or even reversed by encouraging drivers to take the train. For points not located between the Village and New York City, encouraging use of
the Bee-Line bus service could also serve to reduce congestion.
(Source: Metro-North Statistics)
5.4 Commuter Vehicle Characteristics
A. Mode Share
Mode share describes the number or percentage of travelers using a
particular type of transportation. According to recent U.S. Census
data, 71% of the Village of Rye Brook residents traveling to work
do so by driving alone. This compares with a lower rate of 60% of
all Westchester County residents. Approximately 18% of Village
residents took either a train or bus to work which closely parallels
the 20% of Westchester County residents taking public transportation to work.

B. Vehicle Ownership
Over half of owner-occupied housing units have at least two vehicles in each household, according to U.S. Census figures. Almost
18% have three vehicles. Renter-occupied housing units have an
almost equal split of 40% of households for one vehicle and 40% of
households with two vehicles. Overall, owner-occupied housing
units have greater numbers of vehicles. Over 10% of rental units
also report having no vehicles per household. Generally the Village
also tends to have more vehicles per household than the county as a
whole.
5-10
May 2012
C. Commute Time
Over 60% of workers over 16 years of age in the Village of Rye
Brook commute to work in 29 minutes or less, according to U.S.
Census data. Over 18% of workers face a commute of an hour or
longer. This compares to over 52% of Westchester County‘s workforce having a commute of 29 minutes or less and over 17% facing
a commute of an hour or longer. This signals that the Village has a
workforce that is closer to their place of employment than the
county as a whole.

5.5 Public Transportation
Public transportation in the Village of Rye Brook consists of various bus routes that stop in the Village. Additionally, commuter rail
is accessible at two stations in neighboring Port Chester and Rye.
A. Bus Transportation
Bus service in the Village of Rye Brook is provided by Westchester
County‘s Bee-Line which serves Westchester County with limited

The 2000 Village of Rye Brook Vision Plan indicated a desire to
study a pathway along Blind Brook starting at the SUNY-Purchase
campus in the Town/Village of Harrison and continuing south
through neighborhoods in the Village of Rye Brook. This proposed
improvement would make an alternate transportation option available to thousands of students as well as residents looking to travel
to the Village‘s commercial center.
5.6 Westchester County Airport
Westchester County Airport is partially located in the north end of
the Village of Rye Brook. The remainder of the airport is located in
the Town/Village of Harrison and Town of North Castle. The airport is owned by Westchester County and managed under a contract
by AvPorts, a division of Aviation Facilities Company.

According to statistics from the Westchester County Department of
Public Works and Transportation (WCDPWT), the airport averages
32,000 commercial flights each year with an average of 1.9 million
annual passengers (arriving and departing). The airport also serves
70,000 corporate/charter operations and has 300 light aircraft based
at the airport. WCDPWT also estimates that the airport generates
1,300 on-site full-time jobs and thousands of nearby jobs.
From the Airport‘s main terminal building and Hanger A, seven
commercial airlines serve the residents of Rye Brook, Westchester
County and the region through sixteen non-stop destinations; see
Figure 5-13. As per Chapter 712 of the Westchester County Charter, the Airport has a ―Limited Terminal Use Agreement‖ that limits the terminal to serving 240 passengers per half hour and four
aircraft at any time. Connections to other United States and worldwide destinations are available through seven hub airports.
As seen in Figure 5-14, the number of passengers at Westchester
County Airport has almost doubled since 2000. With this increase,
there has been an increase in scheduled commercial flights. The nature of Airport users has shifted from a mostly business-oriented
passenger to a higher proportion of leisure traveler, particularly
with significantly more flights to destinations in Florida.
