====Surface streets====
The Bronx [[street grid]] is irregular. Like the northernmost part of [[upper Manhattan]], the [[West Bronx]]'s hilly terrain leaves a relatively free-style street grid. Much of the West Bronx's street numbering carries over from upper Manhattan, but does not match it exactly; East 132nd Street is the lowest numbered street in the Bronx. This dates from the mid-19th century when the southwestern area of [[Westchester County, New York|Westchester County]] west of the Bronx River, was incorporated into New York City and known as the Northside.

The [[East Bronx]] is considerably flatter, and the street layout tends to be more regular. Only the [[Wakefield, Bronx|Wakefield]] neighborhood picks up the street numbering, albeit at a misalignment due to Tremont Avenue's layout. At the same diagonal latitude, West 262nd Street in Riverdale matches East 237th Street in Wakefield.

Three major north–south thoroughfares run between Manhattan and the Bronx: [[Third Avenue]], [[Park Avenue]], and [[Broadway (Manhattan)|Broadway]]. Other major north–south roads include the [[Grand Concourse (Bronx)|Grand Concourse]], [[Jerome Avenue]], [[Sedgwick Avenue]], [[Webster Avenue]], and [[White Plains Road]]. Major east-west thoroughfares include [[Mosholu Parkway]], [[Gun Hill Road (Bronx)|Gun Hill Road]], [[Fordham Road]], [[Pelham Parkway]], and Tremont Avenue.

Most east–west streets are prefixed with either ''East'' or ''West'', to indicate on which side of Jerome Avenue they lie (continuing the similar system in Manhattan, which uses [[Fifth Avenue]] as the dividing line).<ref>[http://www.thirteen.org/metrofocus/2012/02/unlock-the-grid-then-ditch-the-maps-and-apps/ "Unlock the Grid, Then Ditch the Maps and Apps"], [[WNET]], February 24, 2012. Accessed August 1, 2016. "Jerome Avenue is the Bronx's Fifth Avenue: Jerome Avenue divides the eastern and western halves of the Bronx. Much of the West Bronx's numbering continues where Upper Manhattan's street grid left off."</ref>

The historic [[Boston Post Road]], part of the long pre-revolutionary road connecting [[Boston]] with other northeastern cities, runs east–west in some places, and sometimes northeast–southwest.

[[Mosholu Parkway|Mosholu]] and [[Pelham Parkway]]s, with [[Bronx Park]] between them, [[Van Cortlandt Park]] to the west and [[Pelham Bay Park]] to the east, are also linked by [[bridle path]]s.

As of the 2000 Census, approximately 61.6% of all Bronx households do not have access to a car. Citywide, the percentage of autoless households is 55%.<ref>[http://www.tstc.org/reports/cpsheets/Bronx_factsheet.pdf Bronx factsheet], Tri‐State Transportation Campaign. Accessed August 1, 2016.</ref>

Two [[Metro-North Railroad]] commuter rail lines (the [[Harlem Line]] and the [[Hudson Line (Metro-North)|Hudson Line]]) serve 11 stations in the Bronx. ([[Marble Hill (Metro-North station)|Marble Hill]], between the [[Spuyten Duyvil (Metro-North station)|Spuyten Duyvil]] and [[University Heights (Metro-North station)|University Heights]] stations, is actually in the only part of Manhattan connected to the mainland.) In addition, some trains serving the [[New Haven Line]] stop at [[Fordham (Metro-North station)|Fordham Plaza]]. As part of [[Penn Station Access]], the 2018 MTA budget funded construction of four new stops along the New Haven Line to serve [[Hunts Point, Bronx|Hunts Point]], [[Parkchester, Bronx|Parkchester]], [[Morris Park, Bronx|Morris Park]], and [[Co-op City, Bronx|Co-op City]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.welcome2thebronx.com/2016/05/25/mta-budget-for-four-new-east-bronx-metro-north-stations-finally-approved/|title=MTA Budget For Four New East Bronx Metro North Stations Finally Approved|date=May 25, 2016|work=Welcome2TheBronx|access-date=August 21, 2018}}</ref>
