The Dutchess County LOOP System is the popular name of the bus service provided by the Dutchess County Department of Mass Transit in Dutchess County, New York. LOOP provides a variety of bus services throughout Dutchess County ranging from fixed-route services, centered primarily along the Route 9 corridor, commuter shuttles to/from Hudson Line stations, and demand response.
LOOP, and the Department of Mass Transit, was created in the early-1970s as the assumption of a variety of private line runs that had served various parts of the county.
The system is operated by Veolia Transportation under contract to the county, which inherited the contract from Professional Transit Management's purchase.
