Starting on Friday, East Hampton Village will provide a free morning and afternoon shuttle between the longterm and Reutershan parking lots for those who work in the commercial district. The shuttle, which will operate daily, will take a direct route through Herrick Park.
The village has hired Circuit, the company that also provides free transportation to the beach, to provide the service between 8 and 10 a.m. and between 5 and 6:30 p.m.
