Temporary Service Expansion: UCAT’s New Paltz Loop to Serve 2026 Early Voting Location

Early Voting Runs from October 24 – November 1

Ulster County Area Transit (UCAT) will provide temporary expanded service on the New Paltz Loop (NPL) bus route to ensure accessible transportation to the New Paltz Community Center, a designated early voting site for the 2026 General Election.

From Saturday, October 24 through Sunday, November 1, the NPL will operate daily — an increase from its usual Tuesday & Saturday schedule — and will stop directly at the Community Center throughout the early voting period.

This expansion is being provided without any reduction to existing UCAT services elsewhere.

Service will run approximately every 30 minutes, except during scheduled driver breaks before the Noon and 6 PM loops.

On Weekends, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Early Voting hours are 9 AM – 5 PM.

NPL service will begin at 9 AM and the last loop will begin at 4:30 PM on:

• Saturday 10/24
• Sunday 10/25
• Monday 10/26
• Wednesday 10/28
• Friday 10/30
• Saturday 10/31
• Sunday 11/1

On Tuesday, October 27, and Thursday, October 29, early voting hours are Noon – 8 PM. On these days, NPL service begins at 10 AM (as usual) and will run five hours later than normal, with the last loop beginning at 7:30 PM.

There will be no NPL service on Monday, November 2, as there is no early voting that day.
