NEW YORK ROUTE 5 BUS RAPID TRANSIT LINE

OPEN HOUSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON STATIONS FOR THE NEW YORK ROUTE 5 BUS RAPID TRANSIT LINE

TUESDAY JANUARY 15th 4:30PM to 7:00PM (stop in anytime)

Albany, NY
Served by CDTA #1, #2, #3, #8, #55

CDTA is embarking on implementation of the Capital Region's first bus rapid transit line from downtown Albany to downtown Schenectady along New York Route 5. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is an enhanced, limited-stop, express bus service with features similar to light rail.
Starting in 2008 CDTA will be constructing BRT stations along the corridor. Stations will include large shelters and numerous customer amenities from ticket vending machines to next-bus arrival displays. The open house will allow the public to have direct conversations with CDTA representatives on stations in each segment of the corridor, their environmental impacts, as well as non-station related components of the proposed service.
