Traveling as a pedestrian in Plantsville is not very popular, even though many common errands can be run without the need to use a vehicle. This part of the Greater Hartford metropolitan area is also not very appropriate for bicycling since there are a fair number of elevation changes to challenge cyclists, and this community has rather poor cycling infrastructure.
