Welcome to Community Board 2, Queens 

Bus Rapid Transit Phase II: Online Survey Now Available

Over May and June, the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) and MTA New York City Transit (NYCT) held seven public workshops on the future of bus rapid transit (BRT) in New York City. Over 300 New Yorkers attended and provided input on transit needs in communities across the five boroughs. Participants also discussed what future BRT routes in New York might look like and which BRT features were most important to them. The valuable feedback generated during these workshops will help shape the DOT/NYCT ten-year BRT plan, to be released in the fall of 2009. 

 To continue this public dialogue, DOT and NYCT have developed an online survey that enables citizens and interested groups to provide additional input on New York City’s transit needs and on potential future BRT services. The survey is intended as a companion to Introduction to Bus Rapid Transit Phase II, which can be downloaded at www.nyc.gov/brt. Both those who were able to participate in the workshops and those who were not are encouraged to complete the survey, which will be posted until September 4, 2009.
