About the route

The proposed Q31 Local runs northbound to Bay Terrace and southbound to Jamaica.

The proposed length of the Q31 Local route is 7.3 miles.

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 762 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,224 feet.

The route would include connections to the Q1, Q12, Q13, Q17, Q26, Q27, Q28, Q30, Q36, Q43, Q45, Q46, Q48, Q75, Q76, Q77, Q82, and Q88. It would also connect to the trains and the Long Island Rail Road.

Review the Q31 route summary

The proposed Q31 would be realigned and extended north along Utopia Pkwy, providing more direct service from Bayside to Jamaica. At its northern end, the route would terminate in Bay Terrace via 32 Av, Corporal Kennedy St, 26 Av, and Bell Blvd. Service along 47 Av, 48 Av, and Bell Blvd would still be available with connections to several routes along the corridor, including the Q13 and Q27.

To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q31 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.

Weekday frequencies would be slightly adjusted in select time periods. Service would continue to operate during the same hours.
