The feasibility study considered eleven possible future alternatives. Nine of the alternatives were build alternatives for commuter rail service to New York Pennsylvania Station, on three different alignments utilizing either the North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL) or Northeast Corridor (NEC), and routing to New York Pennsylvania Station.In 2001, NJ TRANSIT initiated a DEIS for the development of a rail option using State and Federal funds. The DEIS is examining three alignments: Lakehurst to Monmouth Junction, Lakehurst to Red Bank and Lakehurst to Matawan. In 2006, the alternatives were refined to incorporate direct, one-seat ride, service to New York Penn Station. Ridership, cost and environmental work were adjusted accordingly. Updating demographics and ridership analyses continued during calendar 2009. Lower-cost versions of the three main build alternatives were analyzed and a draft alternatives analysis report was completed in 2010. | archive-date = September 24, 2017  | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170924001712/http://www.njtpa.org/getattachment/Planning/Regional-Studies/Completed-Studies/Rail-Right-of-Way-Inventory-and-Assessment/Rail-Right-of-Way/20131217_NJTPA_ROW_FinalReport_w_Appendix.pdf.aspx  | url-status = dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/10/16/02-26289/draft-environmental-impact-statement-for-the-monmouth-ocean-middlesex-rail-monmouth-ocean-and|title=Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Monmouth-Ocean-Middlesex Rail; Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex Counties, NJ|date=October 16, 2002|website=Federal Register|access-date=April 15, 2022|archive-date=April 21, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421220730/https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/10/16/02-26289/draft-environmental-impact-statement-for-the-monmouth-ocean-middlesex-rail-monmouth-ocean-and|url-status=live}}</ref>
