In late 2018, Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster counties began work on a regional transit study titled Connect Mid-Hudson: a collaborative effort to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the existing regional transit network in the Mid-Hudson Valley, and to identify opportunities to improve regional connections (i.e. improve services between the three counties, and services between the Mid-Hudson region to other regions such as NYC).

We are pleased to report that the study is nearing completion. Accordingly, a virtual public meeting will be held on Thursday., Dec. 10, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. to present the study’s key findings and recommendations, addressing the following items:

  • Impacts of COVID on regional travel patterns
  • Pre-COVID service performance and customer satisfaction
  • Effectiveness of regional services
  • Opportunities for new technologies and service models
  • Capital improvements to alleviate corridor congestion and capacity constraints

To participate in this virtual public meeting, please use the Zoom meeting link provided below. The meeting will be recorded for those who are unable to join live, and the video posted on the Connect Mid-Hudson website (likely the next day) for review and comment.
