  • 2009 MTA Annual Performance Review
    PERMANENT CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE MTA REPRESENTING MTA RIDERS SINCE 1981 2009 Annual Performance Review of The MTA and Its Operating Agencies Introduction The PCAC’s 2009 Performance Review marks our third report summarizing the accomplishments and continuing challenges of the MTA and its operating agencies. This report addresses a number of broad themes such as leadership, transparency, organizational structure, service performance, communication, and accessibility. These themes relate to the ability of the MTA and its operating agencies to deliver service effectively to the riders that we represent. While PCAC is vitally concerned about the critical issue of the almost $800 million operating funding shortfall from Albany, which is part of ongoing dialogues that the PCAC and its Councils maintain with public officials and the MTA operating agencies, this larger issue is outside the scope of this report. The PCAC is encouraged by the MTA leadership’s initial steps to make the overall organization more effective and efficient, and we intend our report to complement this effort. At the same time we are well aware that internal efficiencies are not enough to prevent serious damage to the system due to state funding shortfalls.1 The PCAC recognizes that some of the issues raised in the report are the subject of ongoing work by the MTA and its agencies, the body of this document addresses issues pertaining to the 2009 calendar year. Several related developments from 2010 are included as footnotes to the Review. The PCAC and its Councils are not legislatively mandated to address the operations of MTA Bridges and Tunnels or MTA Long Island Bus; consequently they are not addressed in this document.

  • (Mostly) True Story of Helvetica and the New York City Subway by Paul Shaw November 18, 2008
    FROM VOICE ~ TOPICS: branding/identity, history, signage, typography The (Mostly) True Story of Helvetica and the New York City Subway by Paul Shaw November 18, 2008 here is a commonly held belief that Helvetica is the signage typeface of the New York City subway system, a belief reinforced by Helvetica, Gary Hustwit’s popular 2007 documentary T about the typeface. But it is not true—or rather, it is only somewhat true. Helvetica is the official typeface of the MTA today, but it was not the typeface specified by Unimark International when it created a new signage system at the end of the 1960s. Why was Helvetica not chosen originally? What was chosen in its place? Why is Helvetica used now, and when did the changeover occur? To answer those questions this essay explores several important histories: of the New York City subway system, transportation signage in the 1960s, Unimark International and, of course, Helvetica. These four strands are woven together, over nine pages, to tell a story that ultimately transcends the simple issue of Helvetica and the subway. The Labyrinth As any New Yorker—or visitor to the city—knows, the subway system is a labyrinth. This is because it is an amalgamation of three separate systems, two of which incorporated earlier urban railway lines. The current New York subway system was formed in 1940 when the IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit), the BMT (Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit) and the IND (Independent) lines were merged. The IRT lines date to 1904; the BMT lines to 1908 (when it was the BRT, or Brooklyn Rapid Transit); and the IND to 1932.

  • Appendix a Parking Demand Analysis Appendix A: Parking Demand Analysis
    Appendix A Parking Demand Analysis Appendix A: Parking Demand Analysis A. INTRODUCTION This appendix provides an overview of parking at the Metro-North Railroad North White Plains station. Based mostly on analysis reported on in 2005, this appendix presents the following: Existing parking demand and capacity at North White Plains station; Future parking demand at North White Plains; and The ability of alternative parking demand management strategies to reduce the need to provide additional parking at North White Plains. B. EXISTING PARKING DEMAND AND CAPACITY Existing parking capacity at the station is 1,355 spaces (Figure A-1); the majority of these parking spaces are owned by Metro-North and Westchester County and do not have residency restrictions. However, several spaces operated by others are restricted based on residency. Based on 2005 data, Westchester County, White Plains, and North Castle had waiting lists for permits at three of the station’s four lots. Parking utilization surveys were conducted on November 18 and 19, 2003; September 27, 2006; and October 29, 2008. The results of these studies are summarized in Table A-1. The results of the September 2006 study indicate higher utilization in Lot 1 than was observed in 2003. However, utilization of residency restricted lots (e.g., White Plains resident permit spaces and Lot 3) was lower in 2006 compared to overall non-residency restricted utilization. Low percent utilization in Lot 3 may represent: a) permit holders who do not park on a regular basis but wish to retain the privilege of using the North Castle lot due to permit fee differential; and/or b) limited permit oversell based on Town policy.

  • 2019 Mid Hudson Progress Report
    SPARKINGINNOVATION IGNITINGCHANGE PROGRESS REPORT 2019 DUTCHESS | ORANGE | PUTNAM | ROCKLAND | SULLIVAN | ULSTER | WESTCHESTER A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Dear Governor Cuomo, On behalf of the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council (MHREDC), I am pleased to present our 2019 Progress Report, “Sparking Innovation, Igniting Change.” In our ninth year, we are no less driven to fine tune the Mid-Hudson’s strategic goals we set in 2011. Each year they have led to the many successes we have seen throughout the region. Your mission to restore and rebuild economic prosperity in communities across the state has inspired private and public sector collaborations. This has again resulted in a robust number of Priority Projects in the Mid-Hudson that align strongly with both the regional plan and state priorities. Proof that your innovative approach is working, we continue to be inspired by your vision and harness the tools and resources you have given the Regional Councils to realize future growth. Through your leadership and the support of New York State agencies, the MHREDC has been awarded more than $648 million into the Mid-Hudson Valley in Rounds I through VIII of the Regional Council process, supporting 815 projects. We are proud to report that 89% of these projects are either complete or progressing; they have leveraged private dollars at a 7:1 ratio; and are projected to create more than 6,000 permanent jobs. These achievements signify the extraordinary impact and value that the Regional Economic Development Council process has had on the regional economy. As a Council, we are seeing steady growth met by exhaustive efforts throughout the region to continue engagement with our communities and identify regionally impactful projects that align with our LIVE, WORK, and PLAY strategy and leverage our assets.
