While Rosslyn is serviced by the [[Palm Coast Metropolitan Transit Authority]], it only ~~receives~~ this service through buses and commuter rail. The city, in ~~2030~~, began construction of the Tide Light Rail as a solution to repeatedly being excluded from the [[Palm Coast Light Rail]]'s planned service area. The agency's reason for the exclusion was cited as being too costly, thus the City of Rosslyn allocated $366 million for the construction and integration of its own light rail service and an additional $80 million each year for maintenance and other costs. Despite being a standalone service, the ~~RTLR~~ and ~~PCLR~~ utilize the same ticketing setup and their metro cards are interoperable, thus it is easier for those residents to connect between the two systems seamlessly. The RTLR's Green line has an exchange station near the [[Andina County, Verona|Andina]]-[[Santa Rosa County, Verona|Santa Rosa]]-[[Sierra County, Verona|Sierra]] tri-point, where RTLR riders can switch to the PCLR's Green line and connect to the other major cities of the Palm Coast area.

Rosslyn is covered by an extensive network of bus lines that bring all of its citizens within reach of the rest of the metro area. With the automobile being the primary means of transportation for the majority of residents, Rosslyn is also served by a large network of freeways and highways. Crossed by IH-~~60 and IH-75~~ and various state highways, there are many routes for residents to utilize. The ~~Santa Rosa County Tollway~~ passes just ~~north of~~ the city limits and offers a direct connection to downtown Sierra. All of city's other highways and freeways that are controlled access have separated High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes that offer express routes and higher speeds than their untolled counterparts. As is custom in the Palm Coast area, all express lanes are HOV 3+ on the left and general toll on the right, with general tolls being higher than HOV 3+.

Rosslyn is covered by an extensive network of bus lines that bring all of its citizens within reach of the rest of the metro area. With the automobile being the primary means of transportation for the majority of residents, Rosslyn is also served by a large network of freeways and highways. Crossed by IH-68 and various state highways, there are many routes for residents to utilize. The Palm Coast Beltway passes just inside the northern city limits and offers a direct connection to downtown Sierra, Lynnhaven, the Twin Cities, and central Andina County. All of the city's other highways and freeways that are controlled access have separated High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes that offer express routes and higher speeds than their untolled counterparts. As is custom in the Palm Coast area, all express lanes are HOV 2+ on the left and general toll on the right, with general tolls being higher than HOV 2+. The metro authority has considered increasing the HOV limit to 3+ in recent years due to the sheer number of drivers in the area. Though traffic is not usually a problem outside of the Sierra urban core due to extensive public transit integration, there are still areas that suffer from severe congestion during peak seasons, especially during major festivals and holidays.
