Dear T.A. Member,
Transportation Alternatives invites you to celebrate a summer of historic car-free events and explore the possibilities for a greener future. Join us for a Car-Free retreat on bike-friendly Governor's Island--"one of New York's best kept secrets" featuring a reception at the Admiral's House with special guest Adriaan Geuze, whose West8 design firm is leading the redesign of Governors Island as the world's next great public park.

Sunday, October 5

Your ticket charge includes complimentary wine, beer, and hors d'oeuvres at the reception and free ferries to and from the island, including a private Water Taxi to Battery Park in Manhattan as well as Fulton Ferry in Brooklyn.

Directions: The ferry to Governors Island runs every hour from South & Whitehall Streets in lower Manhattan. (map and schedule). Ferries and Water Taxis return from Governors Island at 7 pm.

The island is open to the public starting at 10am, and we encourage you to arrive early and explore. Keep in mind that as a completely car-free island, Governors Island is a great place to bike! All the ferries have bike parking, or rent you can rent a pair of wheels from Bike and Roll.
