The Dublin–Sligo railway line passes through the area and it is served by Ashtown railway station, which opened on 1 August 1902. Stopping at Ashtown is the Western Commuter service, which runs frequently between Maynooth and Pearse Station in the city centre. The area is also served by the 120 Dublin Bus route, which terminates at the railway station, and by the 37, 38, 39 and 70 routes, which pass nearby on the Navan Road.

Broombridge railway station, on the Commuter route, has since December 2017 also acted as a terminus for the Green Line of the Luas. A new railway station, called Pelletstown, was opened in September 2021, between Broombridge and Ashtown stations.
