Commuting to Stamford
Stamford Hospital offers the "Deduct-a-Ride" program. Employees may set aside pre-tax dollars for commuting needs. These include train, bus or van-pooling as well as monthly expenses for qualified parking fees.
For those who choose to live outside of Stamford, the hospital is an easy commute via car or train from New York City or other communities in Connecticut and Westchester. The hospital is located near the train station and we offer the added convenience of parking and shuttle buses.
By Train
Stamford is located on the main branch of the New Haven Line on the Metro-North Railroad, the commuter rail system for northern metropolitan New York City. Stamford is the third busiest station on the Metro North system and serves as a major transfer point for local trains.
Commuter trains come into Stamford from all points between New London to the east and New York to the south. Several express (non-stop) trains leave Stamford each morning and evening for Grand Central. The average non-stop commute is forty-five minutes..
By Bus
City bus transportation is provided by CT Transit, which is run and financed by the Connecticut Department of Transportation. The main terminal is adjacent to the train station on State Street, under the I-95 highway. Bus service runs along major arterial roads through the towns of Darien, Norwalk, Greenwich and Port Chester, New York. A non-stop direct route is also offered to White Plains, New York. Commuters can connect in Norwalk to points as far east as Milford and as far north as Danbury. Additional connections can be made in Port Chester and White Plains to all points covered by the Bee-Line bus system in Westchester County.
By Car
Two highways run through the city. Interstate 95 serves as the main route through downtown Stamford with four exits (6-9). The Merritt Parkway runs through the northern part of the city. This road is designated for passenger vehicles only.
