A large freigh train yard exists on the Hyde Park border and the Norfok County House of Corrections is located here. Commuters can access the town through Route 128 as well as through bus lines and the commuter rail of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. There are no emergency departments within the town, but patients may opt to be transported to one of the Boston hospitals.

Fire Alarm is operated out of the Headquarters station and the frequency of 153.950 has changed to 453.6875. In 1993, the apparatus roster consisted mostly of Seagrave.
