WELCOME TO THE NASSAU HUB TRANSIT INITIATIVE WEBSITEThe Nassau Hub Transit Initiative will identify and evaluate alternatives for the provision of bus rapid transit (BRT) service to address congestion and create enhanced connectivity between major destinations in the Nassau Hub area and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). The Nassau Hub, which includes the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum site, is home to multiple commercial, downtown, and institutional activity centers that will benefit from expanded transit access. The County’s new study, referred to as the Alternatives Analysis (AA) Update, will examine opportunities for introducing realistic and practical transit improvements within the study area, and will be conducted in continued cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and in accordance with FTA requirements. The proposed service would provide a natural extension of the BRT’s Initial Operating Segment (IOS) identified in the 2014 Alternatives Analysis.The AA Update will select a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) that will extend BRT service from the IOS and connect to the LIRR Main Line. Following the selection of the LPA and with the FTA’s concurrence, Nassau County will conduct an environmental review in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).This website provides a centralized forum to keep interested stakeholders and the public aware of ongoing activities, meetings or other events that could be of interest, and to provide a convenient platform for people to provide comments. As the AA Update progresses, various materials will be posted for review and feedback will be solicited.Updated December 22, 2022
