  • CROSS HARBOR FREIGHT PROGRAM Needs Assessment
    CROSS HARBOR FREIGHT PROGRAM Needs Assessment September 2010 Cross Harbor Freight Program Needs Assessment A. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND OPPORTUNTIES The greater New York/New Jersey/Connecticut region is the financial center of the United States economy, the nation’s largest consumer market, and a major hub of entertainment, services, fashion, and culture. The region receives, processes, and distributes raw materials, intermediate products, and finished consumer goods, which move to and from the rest of the United States and countries around the world. To fully understand the existing freight market for the region and forecast its future conditions, a 54-county, multi-state Cross Harbor modeling study area has been established, comprising portions of southern New York, northern and central New Jersey, western and southern Connecticut, and a portion of eastern Pennsylvania (see Figure 1). In 2007, more than 920 million tons of freight moved to, from, within, and through the 54- county Cross Harbor modeling study area by surface transportation modes (truck and rail). Excluding through traffic, nearly 690 million tons were handled, and 93.2 percent of this tonnage was handled by truck. By 2035, it is forecast that nearly 1.2 billion tons of freight will be moved to, from, within, or through the study area by truck and rail. Excluding through traffic, more than 860 million tons will be handled by truck and rail, and 92.5 percent of this tonnage will be handled by truck. Between 2007 and 2035, the study area truck tonnage will increase by around 160 million tons and rail tonnage will increase by around 18 million tons (excluding through traffic).

  • Long Island Rail Road: On-Time Performance by the Numbers
    Long Island Rail Road: On-Time Performance by the Numbers Report 1-2018 APRIL 2017 Contents Executive Summary ...................................................................................................... 1 Why Trains Are Late or Canceled ................................................................................ 3 Most Frequently Canceled Trains ................................................................................ 5 Longest Train Delays .................................................................................................... 6 Trains with the Worst On-Time Performance .............................................................. 7 Trains with the Best On-Time Performance ................................................................ 9 Pennsylvania Station................................................................................................... 11 Executive Summary The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) is the largest commuter railroad in the nation. In 2016, the LIRR carried 89.3 million riders, the most since 1949. A total of 247,000 trains were scheduled, but some were canceled at the terminal before departing, terminated en route or were late arriving at their final destination. A commuter train is considered on time by the LIRR if it arrives within 5 minutes and 59 seconds of its scheduled arrival time. Thus, a train is considered late only if it arrives at its final destination 6 minutes or more after its scheduled arrival time. By this measure, only a relatively small percentage of the LIRR’s trains are late in any given year. However, many commuters have a different experience because of their route or time of travel. The LIRR’s on-time performance, which peaked at 95.2 percent in 2009, has slipped in Figure 1 recent years (see Figure 1). In 2015, on-time Annual On-Time Performance performance across the system averaged 91.6 percent, the lowest level in 16 years. 95% While performance improved in 2016 to reach 92.7 percent, it was still below the target (94 percent) set by the LIRR.
