#LOVE SHUTTLE FREE#

The shuttle service is funded through the New York State Environmental Protection Fund (EPF). A public shuttle from Marcy Field, which has safe and ample parking, increases the ability of more visitors to reach their desired hikes while limiting illegal and unsafe parking along Route 73. The pilot shuttle system was launched in 2021 in response to persistent public safety concerns about parking along the busy Route 73 corridor. We greatly appreciate the collaboration with the town of Keene, Essex County and the DEC.' 'We are excited to promote the shuttle returning for the fall hiking season,' said Mary Jane Lawrence, ROOST Chief Operating Officer. 'The shuttle is a great alternative to driving it helps offset the parking and also reduces the carbon footprint of the additional cars driving to and from trail heads. Thanks to Essex County, DEC, and ROOST for partnering to provide this service.'
