Wilton...Easy to get to, difficult to (willingly) leave.
 

Wilton is nearly in the center of a Maine Economic Development Corridor which stretches 86 miles along Route 4 from Turner to Rangeley, and at the southern end of the Farmington Labor Market Area (LMA). Within the Town of Wilton are approximately 82 miles of public roads. Of this number, the majority (70 miles) are town-maintained. The State of Maine has total maintenance responsibility for 11.5 miles of road. The major highways through Wilton are U.S. Route 2 and State Route 4. Both highways have undergone major upgrading in the past few years, and serve as major corridors to markets in the rest of the country, as well as to the western mountains recreation areas and Canada. Annual average daily traffic on Routes 2 and 4 in East Wilton (a TIF Target Area) exceeds 12,000 vehicles. The capacity of these arterials is adequate for current and projected future traffic volumes. Routes 43, 133 and 156 serve as collector roads which serve as local and regional commuter routes. In addition, Route 156 provides access to Mt. Blue State Park in Weld. Their capacities also are adequate for current and future volumes of traffic.

More than three miles of sidewalks connect the compact village area with the schools and Kineowatha Park. As an element of the Wilton Village Improvement Program, partially funded by the Community Development Block Grant Program, sidewalks in the upper portion of Wilton Village were improved in 1988.

Western Maine Transportation Services provides daily fixed-route and door-to-door, on-demand, transportation service to residents of Franklin, Oxford and Androscoggin Counties.

Commercial airports available for private and corporate aircraft include Central Maine Regional Airport in Norridgewock, Augusta State Airport and the Auburn-Lewiston Municipal Airport. In the early 1990s, an airport feasibility and site selection study for a basic utility airport was conducted in southern Franklin County. Out of eleven potential sites for the airport, one site in East Wilton was rated as one of the top four locations.
