context_section_description: The Monroe County Transit Authority (MCTA) serves Monroe County with three bus routes.  Stroudsburg is served by MCTA's Blue, Yellow, and Red Routes.  Only three of the authority's routes have their hub at the Stroud Mall, the Orange Route goes to Giant in Bartonsville, just northwest of the borough on PA 611 in adjacent Stroud Township.  Connections to other MCTA routes are provided at the Stroud Mall. Until the mid-1960s the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad and later the Erie Lackawanna Railroad served the town with the Phoebe Snow, the Lake Cities and several other trains. Since the 2010s there have been efforts to restore passenger rail service to New York City, in the Lackawanna Cut-Off Restoration Project. Grants have been committed to bridge restoration to ensure the restoration of train movement.
