• Abstract:
  The Martin Van Buren National Historic Site (MVBNHS) Alternative Transportation Feasibility Study examines the feasibility of ; alternative transportation system (ATS) service to MVBNHS. The report investigates opportunities for a shuttle carrying visitors ; from the Amtrak station in Hudson to MVBNHS in Kinderhook, as well as more extensive service to several destinations in and ; around Columbia County. Based on the opportunities and challenges presented in this report, the report identifies five potential ; scenarios for pilot testing a shuttle service. The viability of each scenario depends on the participation of other regional destinations ; in supporting a new ATS. The report also presents a vision for improved ATS throughout the Hudson Valley region, where ; connectivity between counties and traveler destinations is currently limited.
