Transportation
Two major interstate highways provide access to the North Country. Route I-81 connects the western-most city of Watertown to Syracuse and other points south. The Adirondack region is served by I-87, which connects to the Canadian border on the north and the New York thruway I-90 on the south.
A regional commuter carrier, connecting Massena, Ogdensburg, Plattsburgh, Saranac Lake and Watertown to hubs in Albany, Boston, Philadelphia, Burlington, and Vermont, provides passenger air service throughout the region.
Both CSX and Canadian Pacific provide commercial rail services. Amtrak operates passenger service from New York City to Montreal, along the Champlain Valley corridor on the east side of the region.
Greyhound Bus Lines and Adirondack Trailways provide regular bus service in several of the major communities in the region.
The North Country has excellent port facilities in Ogdensburg, serving the St. Lawrence Seaway. The Port of Montreal is easily accessible from throughout the region, as well.
