LIRR Hempstead-NYC subway


RPA has examined a number of transportation issues on Long Island and issued a report, Four Transit Issues on Long Island: A report by the Regional Plan Association to the Rauch Foundation. The report discusses RPA's objections to the conclusions reached the by the New York State Department of Transportation report known as LITP 2000. It also advocates for stable funding to expand local bus services, and for a third-track on a critical section of the Long Island Rail Road. Finally, it proposes a realistic approach to incorporating land use considerations that would make transit work more effectively on Long Island.
