WHITE PLAINS – Westchester County has been awarded $3 million through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to launch a zero-emission micro transit pilot program serving the greater Peekskill area.
The pilot service, to start later this year, will run for three years using 100 percent zero-emission vehicles and is expected to cover the City of Peekskill and portions of Cortlandt, Buchanan, Verplanck, and Montrose, including the VA hospital.
County Executive Ken Jenkins said this micro transit service “expands connections to public transportation while improving mobility for communities in and around Peekskill.” He said, “Investing in cleaner vehicles and flexible transit options will help ensure that transportation in Westchester is smore accessible, sustainable and responsive to the needs of our residents.”
