Helping Black voices be heard in the ferry study
Black residents need to respond to the survey to ensure accurate data ×
Many Hudson County municipalities have ferry service to and from New York City but not within Hudson County.
As Hudson County looks to study the expansion of ferry service, surveys are lacking responses from Black residents.
In an interview with the
Bayonne Community News, cofounder of Black in Bayonne Camille High explained efforts to help the Hudson County Ferry Service Expansion Study.
Expanding ferry service
The county has been surveying residents as part of the study, to gauge interest in a a ferry route between local municipalities. Instead of going from Weehawken directly to Manhattan, new ferry routes could carry riders from Bayonne to Hoboken.
