Transit options for Stewart Airport are ready

|

       Five alternative mass transit plans that would connect Stewart International Airport in Newburgh with New York City and the Tri-State Area will be unveiled at a meeting this week, according to the Journal News and LoHud.com. The Orange County session will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn at Newburgh on Tuesday, July 20 from 4 to 8 pm.

 

      Metro-North Railroad and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey have been seeking ways to make the airport more transit accessible to the City, and have previously discussed using express busses and extending Metro-North's Port Jervis Line to the airport, according to the report.

 

      The article quotes Metro-North spokesperson Marjorie Anders as saying "We are going to present the short list of alternatives, and we think people will be excited about them because some are short-term, some are mid-term, and some are long-term concepts."
