TRANSPORTATION
Hudson’s public transportation system does not meet the needs of our citizens many of whom do not drive or own their own car and need to get to places where they work, shop and learn. There are other systems operated within Columbia County, but there is no official coordination between transport providers that allow people to transfer between systems or even find information about possible connections. The lack of a well-designed system of transportation options is an obstacle that must be overcome on our way to a better local economy.THE O’HARA SOLUTION
• Design a local transportation system in consultation with local residents on their needs, to extend Hudson's existing bus service to include the areas of Greenport where Hudson residents work, shop and learn.
• Create a transportation coordination system at the county level with a dispatcher who can connect people with transportation throughout the region on existing vehicles.
• Plan for regional transportation expansion, including the adjacent counties.
