Leprechaun Lines is a private bus company headquartered in New Windsor, New York. The company uses a fleet of coach-style buses to provide charter functions and a variety of services. Two local routes run through Newburgh, connecting major shopping and employment destinations. Additionally, a commuter shuttle route runs between Stewart International Airport, Downtown Newburgh, a park and ride location on New York State Route 17K, and the Beacon Metro-North Station. In Orange County, Leprechaun operates the Newburgh Area Transit system for TransitOrange, using Gillig Low Floor HEV 35' and Gillig Phantom 35' buses. Previously, they used OBI Orion I and Orion V buses.

Stewart Airport, which is a rapidly growing reliever airport for the New York City area, is only served by Leprechaun's system.

On the Dutchess County side of the Hudson River, a commuter express line between Poughkeepsie and the massive suburban office park developments of White Plains is also operated by the agency. From Wednesday through Saturday, a schedule tourist service is also offered, running from Poughkeepsie and Newburgh to Atlantic City, New Jersey.
