Preliminary Option 3B

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

Option 3B, a variation of Option 3A, would provide BRT service between Suffern and Port Chester. In Rockland County, BRT would operate on a section of the Piermont Railroad right-of-way in Suffern and in HOV lanes along I-287 and across the Tappan Zee Bridge. Through Westchester County, BRT would operate on an exclusive busway along I-287 to Port Chester. Service also would be provided through White Plains in dedicated bus lanes. BRT on the busway in this option would operate at high speeds and have extensive feeder bus connectivity. There would be minimal interference
from the general purpose traffic.
