GETTING TO ROCKLAND COUNTY

Rockland is conveniently located along the New York State Thruway. It connects Westchester County and New York City to the south and east via the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, Albany and Canada to the north, and the rest of New York State to the west.

The Palisades Interstate Parkway (PIP) provides north/south access through Rockland County (exits 4-15) and provides easy access to New York City via the George Washington Bridge.
