Long Island Bus and the Nassau County Department of Social Services produced the most ambitious proposal, which calls for extended morning and evening hours of service on existing routes, more connecting service into New York City and a new bus route from Freeport through Roosevelt to Roosevelt Field and the Nassau Hub area.

Project Renewal, a Manhattan non-profit group, paired with the NYC Department of Homeless Services to propose van services to job sites for formerly homeless and recovering substance abusers.

MTA and the NYC Human Resources Administration want to place "mobility managers" in Human Resources employment centers to provide information about transit commuting routes and schedules.

The Yonkers Industrial Development Agency and Westchester DOT proposed new van service to and from emerging job centers that are not presently serviced by Westchester bus service.

Perhaps the most notable feature of the proposals is their underwhelming number in transit-rich downstate NY. One reason is that the Federal Transit Administration produced submission guidelines in November when the proposals were due only a month later.
