The following article, published yesterday in the Ithaca Journal,
discusses the DOT's proposed Multiyear plan and includes NYPTA's
response to it. NYPTA's Frank Kobliski is quoted as saying "The only way
upstate and suburban transit systems can achieve the maximum benefit
from the proposed capital plan is if we have the op...erating assistance
to back it up," reinforcing the Association's stance on the proposed
cuts. We will continue to be an active voice in fighting for transit dollars. Let us know what you think!

It seems everyone is searching for ways to become green and promote sustainability in their homes, workplaces and communities. Increasingly, we are using less, recycling more and replacing what we must with more environmentally friendly alternatives.

Andy Arthur Question: Does NYPTA represent all transit agencies in New York State, or is it only Upstate metro agencies? ie. do you represent things like NYC MTA, or Suffolk Transit and the rural transit agencies like Clinton County Regional Transit (CART).

NYPTA What do you think about WiFi access on public transportation? Would you like to see it on your local public transit line?

We are now offering free wireless internet service on our NX Commuter Xpress service. All 15 buses are now equipped with WiFi providing riders with a way to access the internet through their laptop, PDA or cell phone.

Ambivalent. Feel bombarded with cell phone usage on the bus as it is.

Right now you can pick up a signal on Delaware Ave from several access points. That said, on a local route, where your trip is likely to be shorter, it's not as necessary. On express routes, where people are on longer with smoother rides (without stops), it might make sense.

Could be a good add on revenue stream for CDTA. Definately a necessity for anyone that works on the go.
