Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said not enough people took advantage of the emergency provisions in place on Monday.

Those include extra buses, which officials estimate only 2,100 people used on Monday.

There is also free parking at county parks so people can carpool.

"We highly recommend this, you can get your colleague, your friends, your neighbors together, get a plan, make sure that you get a lot of people in your vehicles," Blakeman said.

Blakeman is running for governor as a republican and quickly blamed Gov. Kathy Hochul for the strike.
