NOTE - The entire sample for this survey consists of 1,200 completed interviews, yielding a margin of error of:l: 3%, 95% of the time. There were 240 interviews conducted
from each of five geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and
5) Southampton West of the Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent
the actual proportional year-round populations of each region to the whole five town area, the ~Totar row on each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct
proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is slightly higher than :t 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 1 00% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on
questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

6. Let's suppose we make some major changes
in the public transportation system. To start, we
set up a new organization -- a public authority
which takes control of all public transportation
the rail and bus service --on Long Island's
east end. how favorable would you be to a 3.36 204 64 239 161 334 [201]
new organization running public transportation? 2.98 20% 6% 24% 16% 33% [17%]
7. The new authority sets up a new train
system, with trains running every thirty minutes
in each direction, just for the east end, on
the existing Long Island Railroad tracks.
The new trains would travel from Shirley to
Montauk, on the South Fork, and from
Ronkonkoma to Greenport, on the North Fork,
And it would connect, at Shirley and
Ronkonkoma, with the existing L1RR to
and from New York City. The trains would
be smaller, but with enough seating to
handle the expected passenger load. How
favorable would you be to a new train system 3.87 154 67 146 194 591 [51]
that runs every thirty minutes? 4.03 13% 6% 13% 17% 51% [4%]
8. New mini-buses are added, and the key
feature is that when the trains arrived at stations,
there would be a coordinated schedule with the
mini-buses, so that they would be there to meet
the train passengers and take them on their way.
How favorable would you be to a mini-bus and 3.95 129 65 154 184 618 [53]

18. Suppose the cost to riders would be free. There would be no fares at all. It could be done, by
taking some of the $60 million per year that people in the five east end towns now send,
through sales and other taxes, to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which
operates the Long Island Railroad. The estimated annual cost to run the new system
is $25 million, so the new authority would take some of the $60 million to cover these costs.

were free? Number Percent

buses: 13% 29% 51% 7%
21. Reason to be against the plan -- The
political opposition from the MTA or the Long

waste time with something that will never 216 339 558 90
happen: 18% 28% 46% 7%

23. Reason to support the plan -- It's a
well-thought-out, detailed plan,
devised by people in the area and by

by all of the local elected officials and
large employers in the five Long Island 219 316 413 205 50
east end towns: 18% 26% 34% 17% 4%

Everybody benefits, not just those 309 322 358 176 38
who must take public transportation: 26% 27% 30% 15% 3%
26. Which of the following three benefits is the most important, if this new system were to be put
in place -- 1) the new system would be energy-efficient and non-polluting, 2) some people would
switch to public transportation and get their cars off the road and reduce traffic, or 3) there would be
better public transportation for those who need or want it?

geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole fIVe town area, the "Total" row on each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than:t 6%,95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 100% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

NOTE - The entire sample for this survey consists of 1,200 completed interviews, yielding a margin of error of t: 3%, 95% of the time. There were 240 interviews conducted from each of five
geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the "Total" row on each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than t: 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 100% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

7. The new authority sets up a new train system, with trains running every thirty minutes in each direction, just for the east end, on the existing Long
Island Railroad tracks. The new trains would travel from Shirley to Montauk, on the South Fork, and from Ronkonkoma to Greenport, on the North
Fork, and it would connect, at Shirley and Ronkonkoma, with the existing L1RR to and from New York City. The trains would be smaller, but with
enough seating to handle the expected passenger load. How favorable would you be to a new train system that runs every thirty minutes?

buses, so that they would be there to meet the train passengers and take them on their way. How favorable would you be to a mini-bus and train
schedule coordinated together in this way?

NOTE - The entire sample for this survey consists of 1,200 completed interviews, yielding a margin of error of:t 3%, 95% of the time. There were 240 interviews conducted from each of five
geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year.round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the MTotar rowan each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than :f: 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 1 00% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the ~Totar row on each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 intelViews) is
slightly higher than t 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 1 00% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

NOTE - The entire sample for this sUlvey consists of 1,200 completed intelViews, yielding a margin of error of:t 3%, 95% of the time. There were 240 interviews conducted from each of five
geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the ~Total" row on each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than :t 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 100% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the RTotal" row on each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than :I: 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 100% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

18. Suppose the cost to riders would be free. There would be no fares at all. It could be done, by taking some of the $60 million per year that
people in the five east end towns now send, through sales and other taxes, to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the Long
Island Railroad. The estimated annual cost to run the new system is $25 million, so the new authority would take some of the $60 million to cover
these costs. Asking the question again, how often do you think you would use the new system, if it were free?

18. Suppose the cost to riders would be free. There would be no fares at all. It could be done, by taking some of the $60 million per year that
people in the five east end towns now send, through sales and other taxes, to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the Long
Island Railroad. The estimated annual cost to run the new system is $25 million, so the new authority would take some of the $60 million to cover
these costs. Asking the question again, how often do you think you would use the new system, if it were free?

Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of

slightly higher than:t: 6%,95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 100% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton.East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional yeaHound populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the ~Total" row on each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than :t: 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 100% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

NOTE - The entire sample for this survey consists of 1,200 completed interviews, yielding a margin of error of:l: 3%, 95% of the time. There were 240 interviews conducted from each of five
geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the "Tatar rowan each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than :I: 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 1 00% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the "Total" row on each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than :t: 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 1 00% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

NOTE - The entire sample for this survey consists of 1,200 completed interviews, yielding a margin of error of :t: 3%, 95% of the time. There were 240 interviews conducted from each of five
geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the ~Totar row on each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than:t 6%,95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 100% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

NOTE - The entire sample for this survey consists of 1,200 completed interviews, yielding a margin of error of:i: 3%, 95% of the time. There were 240 interviews conducted from each of five
geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the ~Totar rowan each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than :i: 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 1 00% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

NOTE - The entire sample for this survey consists of 1 ,200 completed interviews, yielding a margin of error of:t 3%, 95% of the time. There were 240 interviews conducted from each of five
geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the ~Total" rowan each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than :t 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 1 00% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

NOTE _ The entire sample for this survey consists of 1,200 completed interviews, yielding a margin of error of:t: 3%, 95% of the time. There were 240 interviews conducted from each of five
geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the ~Total" row on each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than:l:: 6%,95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 100% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

NOTE - The entire sample for this survey consists of 1,200 completed interviews, yielding a margin of error of:t 3%, 95% of the time. There were 240 interviews conducted from each of five
geographic regions-1) East Hampton town, 2) Riverhead town, 3) Southold and Shelter Island towns, 4) Southampton-East of the Shinnecock Canal, and 5) Southampton West of the
Shinnecock Canal (Southampton east and west were combined to equal Southampton town). Because the sample was weighted to represent the actual proportional year-round populations of
each region to the whole five town area, the "Total" rowan each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than :I: 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 1 00% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.

each region to the whole five town area, the "Total" rowan each page is adjusted upward or downward to match the correct proportion. The margin of error for each region (240 interviews) is
slightly higher than :t 6%, 95% of the time. Totals do not always equal 1 00% 1) due to rounding, or 2) on questions that have a row for Mean, in which case the Don't Know responses are
excluded from the Mean and from the column percent calculations.
