ARRIVE BY CAR
RCS is easy to get to by car. Directly off of Route 22, we’re just a few minutes from I-684 and the Saw Mill River Parkway. For those who need to balance work and family, our campus is close to three Metro-North Railroad stations and just a few miles from major business hubs like White Plains and Stamford.

CARPOOL
