Flexible Public Transit Service Survey: The Town of Pelham was recently awarded a Clean Mobility Grant through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The program aims to increase access to zero-emission, shared transportation options across New York State communities. The Town of Pelham will leverage this opportunity to develop a plan for adding an electric, flexible public transit service to the current transit network. This new service may provide flexible public transit vehicles at common pick-up/drop-off points or allow for scheduled home pick up with electric cars, minibuses, small shuttles, vans, or other options. Your feedback will help inform the design of a flexible transit service for all Town of Pelham visitors and residents. Please click the link below to complete a 10-minute survey, and help shape the future of transportation in the Town of Pelham. Thank you for your participation, we value your insights!   Survey Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXYogLhm4Qvf1W5bm0wDmFHE132U0SzQFqObBSgbXCqerQug/viewform?usp=preview

Law Changes to the Star Program

New applicants who qualify for STAR will now be required to register with NY State (www.tax.ny.gov) instead of applying with the Assessor’s Office.  If they qualify, they will receive a star credit in the form of a check rather than a property tax exemption.  The dollar value of the credit will be the same as the property tax exemption.

You must register with the New York State Tax Department by

(1) visiting www.tax.ny.gov

or

(2) Calling (518) 457-2036
