As a part of the Reimagine Transit study, Suffolk County Transit, along with riders, citizens, and key stakeholders, has been hard at work reimagining the Suffolk Transit system to decide where bus service should go, when it should run, and how frequently it should operate. We would like to present you with the draft new SCT network that would begin operation in July 2023.
The Reimagine Transit Draft New Network Report and links to access the public hearings can be found at:

This will be your opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions on the draft new network. Some routes are similar to the routes running today, but there are proposed changes to nearly every single route in the system. The new network has been designed with a focus on ridership-oriented goals, with fewer routes overall, but with more routes providing 30-minute service, more routes providing earlier and later service, and all routes providing seven day service. The new network also introduces on-demand transit zones to provide coverage in low-ridership areas.
