Key areas of analysis include:

Tech Memo 4 - Capital Improvement Analysis (Appendix)
Public participation was a vital piece to the success of this study. The Mid-Hudson Valley region is served by a number of transit providers, including bus, rail, and ferry operations. However, the services are spread among multiple public and private providers. The Connect Mid-Hudson study sought to take a fresh look at the effectiveness of the existing regional transit network in meeting the mobility needs of residents and visitors of the three-county region.
An online survey was conducted in 2018 and publicized through press releases and 12 pop-up events around the region. In total, 1,295 surveys were submitted, where 75% of the respondents identified as transit riders.
