Levinson Icon Mentor Region 2 Urban Transportation Research Center City College, New York and Transportation Consultant Wallingford, Connecticut February 24, 2010 2 1. INTRODUCTION Bus rapid transit systems are increasingly being developed throughout the world. In New York City, a comprehensive analysis of options led to New York City Transit implementing Select Bus Service on Fordham Road. A similar service will be installed on First and Second Avenues in Manhattan, Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn, and Hylan Boulevard in Staten Island. Bus rapid transit proposals have been set forth for Central Ave and I-287 in Westchester County, and a BRT study is underway for Route 110 in Suffolk County. NJ TRANSIT operates BRT service along Springfield and Bloomfield Avenues and is exploring service along several other corridors in Northern New Jersey. The discussion that follows builds upon these actions and proposals to develop the broad outlines of a regional bus rapid transit system for New York City and its environs. The goal is to develop a system that complements and extends the reach of the region’s many rail transit lines. 2. CONTEXT AND ANTECEDENTS Developing a regional bus rapid transit (BRT) system for the New York City region is a challenging and difficult task.
