One of the nice things about Windsor is that is it nautical, meaning that parts of the town are somewhat historic and on the ocean, or touch tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

Windsor is a very car-oriented town. 97.36% of residents commute to work in a private automobile rather than by other means, such as public transit, bicycling, or walking. This is because Windsor is a small town, and most people who live here have to drive out of town for work, and the town population is not large nor dense enough to support an extensive public transportation system. Windsor has a lot of rural roads, and houses can be far apart. Many residents drive out of town for regular shopping trips as well.

As is often the case in a small town, Windsor doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
