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.
