"The country miles that separate points in rural areas of the state can take a long time to traverse.
For many people in Northern New York, this means that public transportation is essential. They rely upon it to get to work, do their shopping, keep medical appointments, attend school and visit loved ones.
But some regions are underserved. This leaves many residents with fewer options to travel from one destination to another.
The good news is that the Metropolitan Planning Organization has presented a vision for making such services more accessible in the near future. The group consists of representatives from the city of Watertown, Jefferson County and state Department of Transportation. It recently released its Watertown-Jefferson County Area Transportation Council Transit Study, which has been in the works for more than two years."
