Long Island & Queens - Promoting Sustainable Transportation
Circuit Transit Launches Electric Micro-Shuttle Services in Long Island and Queens
Circuit Transit Inc. is supporting sustainable transportation in the Rockaways
neighborhood of Queens, and in Brentwood
, in Long Island. Existing public transit does not meet 100% of the transportation needs of these two communities, and the lack of sustainable alternatives to personal vehicles represents a barrier to employment, education, and healthcare for residents.
Circuit is bringing an affordable, electric micro-shuttle service to these communities to serve on-demand trips and bridge the first/last mile gap between transit stops and passenger destinations, with Long Island Railroad stations ranking among the most popular drop-off and pickup locations for riders.
The micro-transit fleet consists of 100% battery-electric vehicles and utilizes mobile ride-request app technology supporting smart stops and rider-pooling functionality. The sustainable transit service is employing residents as shuttle drivers and providing publicly available EV charging hubs to increase local charging access.
