Goal 7. Support the improvement and promote the use of alternative transit services including rail, bus, and school transportation

To enhance access and mobil­i­ty of all those who live, work and play in the Town, the Town should coor­di­nate with Westch­ester Coun­ty to pro­vide more fre­quent bus ser­vice, more cross-town ser­vice and stream­lined ser­vice to the ham­lets. An out­reach pro­gram and incen­tives to pro­mote alter­na­tive trans­porta­tion should be devel­oped. The Town should coor­di­nate with the school dis­tricts to exam­ine school bus rid­er­ship trends and, if nec­es­sary, encour­age rid­er­ship through out­reach cam­paigns. The Town should also coor­di­nate with the Chap­paqua Bus Com­pa­ny to explore oppor­tu­ni­ties to use their ser­vices to ful­fill com­mu­ni­ty trans­porta­tion needs, such as pub­lic trans­porta­tion between the hamlets.
