  1. NEW YORK CITY TRAFFIC CONGESTION MITIGATION COMMISSION NYSDOT Comments on New York City Traffic Congestion Mitigation Plan Bob Zerrillo, Director, Office of Policy, Planning and Performance Peter King, Director, Planning and Program Management New York State Department of Transportation

  2. NYSDOT Review • Regional Impacts • Impact on State Highway System • Impact on non-MTA Transit Service • Data Collection • Capital Needs • Future Considerations

  3. Regional Impacts • Reviewed results from NYC Best Practice Model • Congestion pricing may have impacts beyond City borders • Fewer auto trips to Manhattan CBD • Increased transit demand to CBD

  4. Impacts on Highway System • Reviewed 7 major corridors • Overall travel improves: • Total vehicle mileage drops slightly • Travel hours are reduced • Overall travel speed increases • Monitor for Localized impacts

  5. ITS Enhancements • ITS improves system efficiency • ITS will support the congestion pricing plan by improving traffic flow • Recommended Projects: • Improve travel information services, • Enhance highway performance analysis, • Deploy additional ITS infrastructure, • Improve Transportation Management Center Operations

  6. Transit • Regional transit network will require additional capital and operating investments, and interagency coordination. • Most transit diversions will be accommodated by MTA system • NYSDOT will work with the MTA and Counties to support express bus service from areas not well served by commuter rail • Operational Needs: e.g. Parking capacity at rail stations; Feeder bus access to rail stations • Commuter and Intercity Bus Service to CBD: Additional buses; Exemption from congestion fees; Regional fare media

  7. Data Collection • Establish a systematic, well coordinated initiative among all regional transportation operating agencies • “Before and after” data collection on the operation and usage of the entire regional transportation system • Expand collection locations before implementation • Collect during the pilot period to evaluate actual changes • Monitor freight movement impacts

  8. Summary of Capital Needs • Technology and Information: • $98.6M - Technology and traffic monitoring projects • Improving Travel Information Services - $12.5M • Enhance Highway Performance Analysis - $28.2M • Deploy Additional ITS Infrastructure - $15M • Improve Transportation Management Center Operations - $42.9M • $12.5M - Regional data collection and information sharing • Transit Services Other than the MTA: • $30M - Purchase/lease of suburban express bus park and ride facilities and bus shelters • $25M - Improved traveler information, integrated fare media, and transit technology.

  9. Future Considerations • Need “before and after” data on actual experience • Mid-term (18-month) evaluation • Make adjustments if necessary • Use congestion pricing revenues for balanced investments in all modes
