The last public meeting for the Nassau Hub Major Investment Study will be April 5th. The meeting will present design themes, the results of the ridership demand forecasting analysis for the various mass transit options studied — including light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit and automated guideway trains — and information on their capital and operating & maintenance costs.

The Nassau Hub study team will be seeking public approval in order to take a few of the transportation options through a full environmental review. The Nassau Hub plan is one of the most ambitious smart growth efforts in the region, and seeks to densify and provide new transit service to central Nassau County.

The meeting will take place from 7-9 p.m. at the Nassau County Department of Social Services Auditorium, 101 County Seat Drive, Mineola. For information, call 516-571-0431.
