Public Transit in NY, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority: Its Future and History Carrigy
Hofstra University, Department of Global Studies & Geography, Honors Essay Public Transit in New York The Past and Future of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Michael Carrigy Fall 2010 Supervised by Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Table of Contents Introduction: Public Transportation in the United States 3 New York’s MTA and Its Subsidiaries 7 MTA’s Departmental Structure 11 The MTA’s Report Card 19 Planning for the Future 26 Appendix 30 Bibliography 51 2 Introduction: Public Transportation in the United States The Rise of the Suburb and the Decline of the Inner City From the 1950s to the 1970s, race riots, deindustrialization, the rise of consumerism, and the rise of the automobile contributed to the decline of America’s cities and the rise of the suburbs. For instance, downtown Hempstead lost its major department store and saw a decline in population and a rise in crime. Nearby in Levittown, houses were mass produced for market consumption at a time when demand for detached suburban style houses skyrocketed. The pressure for housing not only came from a housing shortage for returning veterans but from FHA policies which subsidized mortgages for new houses. The policy made it significantly cheaper in some cases to buy a new home than to either rent an apartment or refurbish an existing home. To serve these low density areas, malls, just like the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, were erected in suburban places across the country. Roosevelt Field gladly made up for Hempstead’s diminishing retailing in its downtown. Due to an increase in the number of malls, many cities saw areas just outside of their downtown decline into severe and in some cases complete abandonment. -
Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line. -

Bottom right: A New York Cross Harbor Railroad “piggypacker” transfers a low-profile container from rail to a trailer (photo by Adam Gitlin). Environmental Defense is dedicated to protecting the environmental rights of all people, including the right to clean air, clean water, healthy food and flourishing ecosystems. Guided by science, we work to create practical solutions that win lasting political, economic and social support because they are nonpartisan, cost-effective and fair. The East of Hudson Rail Freight Operations Task Force is committed to the restoration of price- and service-competitive freight rail service in the areas of the New York metropolitan region east of the Hudson River. The Task Force seeks to accomplish this objective through bringing together elected officials, carriers and public agencies at regularly scheduled meetings where any issue that hinders or can assist in the restoration of competitive rail service is discussed openly. It is expected that all participants will work toward the common goal of restoring competitive rail freight service East of the Hudson. ©2004 Environmental Defense Printed on 100% (50% post-consumer) recycled paper, 100% chlorine free. -
Chapter 6: Historic and Cultural Resources
Chapter 6: Historic and Cultural Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses the potential of the Proposed Project to affect historic and cultural resources. The Project Site, located in Staten Island’s Tottenville neighborhood, is bounded by the Outerbridge Crossing to the north, Arthur Kill Road to the east, Richmond Valley Road to the south, and the Arthur Kill waterway to the west. As described in greater detail in Chapter 1, “Projection Description,” the Proposed Project is a commercial center with the associated parking, open space, and street and infrastructure improvements. This analysis has been prepared in accordance with the 2014 New York City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual. The Proposed Project would require permits from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the New York State Department of Conservation (NYSDEC). Therefore, this analysis also has been prepared in accordance with Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act (NYSHPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Historic and cultural resources include both archaeological and architectural resources. The study area for archeological resources is the Project Site itself where disturbance from excavation and construction can be anticipated. Study areas for architectural resources are determined based on the area of potential effect for construction period impacts, as well as the larger area in which there may be visual or contextual impacts. The CEQR Technical Manual sets the guidelines for the study area as being typically within an approximately 400-foot radius of the Project Site boundary (see Figure 6-1). Within the study area, architectural resources analyzed include State and National Register (S/NR)- listed or S/NR-eligible properties, New York City Landmarks (NYCLs), New York City Historic Districts (NYCHDs), and properties pending such designation (“known architectural resources”). -

In a GMP/EIS, these different options to fulfill the park’s purpose and achieve a new vision are called management alternatives. Alternatives provide a different focus for the park and emphasize different priorities. All the alternatives meet the park’s purpose, laws, and policies—they just do it in different ways. These alternatives represent the combined planning efforts of NPS staff and the contributions of academic institutions, other government agencies, stakeholder groups, local residents, park users, and interested individuals. Not all ideas and suggestions will be reflected in the alternatives; many are specific actions that could happen as part of This chapter of the implementation of the final GMP/EIS. -
