This is done during the evening to cause as little inconvenience as possible for the village residents.

Town of Warwick to open new transit facility WARWICK — On Monday, Aug. 15, the Town of Warwick will officially open a new transit center at 63 Public Works Drive just off Kings Highway.
The facility is intended to expand transportation opportunities, in cooperation with neighboring municipalities, to other parts of the Orange County.
The new Warwick Transit Center was funded by grants from the Federal Transit Administration and the New York Department of Transportation in cooperation with Orange County.
Town of Warwick Supervisor Michael Sweeton explained that the new facility was much needed because the fleet has expanded to 12 busses, which not only serve the Dial-A-Bus program but also provide fixed routes to major locations in the county and to other transit connections.
