Service is also provided out of the county to Poughkeepsie[2] and Newburgh for connections with Metro-North Railroad at Poughkeepsie, and Short Line Bus in Newburgh and Ellenville.[3] Within Ulster County, connections are available to Trailways of New York inter-city and commuter services to both New York City and Albany.[4][5]
Routes
[edit]The full route is given. UCAT is a fixed route provider with complementary paratransit mirroring the fixed route time tables and servicing an area 1 1/2 miles on either side of the fixed route. In 2010, the routes were given letters (previously, routes were identified by destination only). Those are also denoted in the table below.
