The Walkway Tram

To assist seniors, veterans, individuals with mobility challenges, and those with a fear of heights, Friends of the Walkway's all-electric 11-passenger, wheelchair accessible tram allows visitors of all abilities to experience the Walkway and enjoy its sweeping, panoramic Hudson Valley views. 

Tram service is seasonal from early April through late November. In the event of inclement weather during normal operating times, tram service may be suspended for the day.  

Reservations are not required. This service is free to all visitors. 

Tram Schedule and Stops

Thanks to leading support from Rutberg Breslow Personal Injury Law, Walkway's tram operates seasonally seven days per week from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

Tram service begins at the East Gate Plaza in Poughkeepsie at 10 a.m.  The tram takes approximately 30-45 minutes to cross the length of the bridge one way.

The tram makes a continuous loop across the bridge. Passengers may embark and disembark at a number of stops:

  • East Gate Plaza (Poughkeepsie)
  • Elevator Overlook
  • Center Overlook (by the flagpole)
  • Ulster Welcome Center (Highland)

The day's final departure from the Ulster Welcome Center is approximately between 3-3:30 p.m.
