Veolia Signs Secret Contract on LI Bus - Mobilizing the Region (blog)

Veolia Transportation has signed a contract to operate Long Island Bus next year, a Nassau County spokesperson told Newsday today. But the details of the contract have been kept under wraps, even as the Nassau County Legislature prepares to vote on a 2012 budget that would cut county funding to the bus agency by 73%. (That vote will be preceded by a public hearing at 7 pm this Sunday at the county’s Executive and Legislative Building at 1550 Franklin Avenue in Mineola.) The county has not yet signed the contract, according to the spokesperson, who said it would be released to the legislature soon.
