Preliminary Option 3A

Option 3A, Full Corridor Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Enhanced

Option 3A, an enhancement of Alternative 3, would provide BRT service between Suffern and Port Chester along a trunk route primarily along I-287 that is intended to operate like a rail system. The trunk would connect the New Jersey Transit Suffern Station to the Port Chester New Haven Line Station. In Rockland County, the BRT trunk line would operate on a section of the Piermont Railroad right-of-way in Suffern and in HOV lanes within the I-287 right-of-way. Through Westchester County, the BRT trunk line would operate in a combination of exclusive busways and exclusive bus lanes.
