Central Brooklyn Workers

Together Kings County Hospital Center, Downstate Medical Center, Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, Kingsboro Psychiatric Center and Brookdale Hospital form a vital resource for Brooklyn: a medical services hub that is one of the borough's biggest employers. Its diverse workforce relies heavily on public transportation to get there, and overwhelmingly lives in nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods. 
The planned Nostrand Avenue Select Bus Service route runs near the Central Brooklyn medical centers and promises to improve access for patients and workers who now face slow and long local bus rides, from neighborhoods that include Bedford-Stuyvesant, Sheepshead Bay and Williamsburg.
