The main entrances are located on Elm Avenue on the north side of the tracks, and in a parking lot off 1st Street on the south side; a staircase also connects the east end of the southern (northbound) platform to Fulton Avenue.

Bee-Line Bus System busses 53 and 54 stop at the Elm Avenue entrance to the station.

Petrillo Plaza, on East Prospect Avenue slightly west of the station, is a hub for the Bee-Line Bus System.

It was a transfer point to the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway – one of five NYW&B stations within the city.
