AAR has established transfer locations to accommodate easier travel for AAR customers whose trips go beyond the five boroughs of NYC into either Westchester County or Nassau County. At these locations, eligible customers can connect from AAR and services to either Able-Ride (Nassau County) or Bee-Line ParaTransit (Westchester County).
Customers must coordinate the portion of their trips beyond the AAR service area with Able-Ride or Bee-Line. There are no free transfers as each Paratransit service operates independently.
When booking a trip between the Access-A-Ride service area and Nassau County, customers can request pickup or drop-off at these locations:
- Northwell Health, Center for Advanced Medicine (450 Lakeville Rd, Door D, New Hyde Park)
- Green Acres Mall in front of Panera Bread (2034 Green Acres Rd South, Valley Stream)
When booking a trip between the Access-A-Ride service area and Westchester County, customers can request pickup or drop-off at these locations:
- 4340 Boston Rd, Bronx (at Ropes Avenue/IHOP)
- 5661 Riverdale Av, Bronx (at West 258th St)
AAR customers may also take LIRR or Metro-North to other transportation hubs within NYC and coordinate a pickup with AAR to continue their trip within AAR’s service area.
These are the transportation hubs within the AAR service area where customers can connect with accessible transportation (buses/commuter trains) that can connect them to other regions' Paratransit services:
- Herald Square (33rd St and 6th Av): PATH
- Moynihan / Penn Station (on 33rd St & 8th Av): Amtrak, LIRR
- Grand Central Terminal and Grand Central Madison (East 43rd St and Lexington Avenue): Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road
- Port Authority Bus Terminal (42nd St between 8th and 9th Avs): New Jersey Transit and private carriers
