This mobility study for the Westchester County Bee-Line System investigates the strategic integration of Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) to address first-mile/last-mile transit connectivity challenges. It reviews case studies of TNC partnerships from other transit agencies and discusses key considerations for implementation in Westchester County. The study recommends initiating a pilot program focused on enhancing overall mobility, increasing cost efficiencies, ensuring regulatory compliance and user equity, and reinvesting potential savings into core fixed route services, specifically by replacing inefficient routes or serving new markets with unmet demand.
