Rides are summoned by hailing a taxi parked at a stand or driving by. Precedents Many airports around the country advertise taxi services that connect terminals with rail stations. Examples include Trenton-Mercer, Long Beach, Harrisburg, and New Haven. At MacArthur Airport Orientation to pick-up areas would be facilitated by signage at Ronkonkoma Station. Service awareness and convenience of transaction would be improved with updated LIRR ticket vending machines and app. New York City Hybrid Taxi, New York, NY (Image source: Karthik T J, Wikimedia) Upgraded Taxis Delivery Time Frame Taxis are the current mode of user selection of Ronkonkoma connection between Ronkonkoma as a destination.

Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) Overview Also known as “ride-hailing” services, companies like Uber and Lyft provide customers the ability to arrange a ride using a GPS-enabled smartphone. Precedents Local agencies in Dallas, Los Angeles, Pinellas County, FL and Centennial, CO have developed pilot programs to enhance local transit through partnerships with TNCs. At MacArthur Airport Users would request rides between a designated location at terminal and the train station using their phones. Subsidies could be implemented via a discount code.

Upgraded Shuttle Overview A dedicated, upgraded shuttle bus service traveling along fixed routes on fixed schedules. Precedents Commonly used where rail or other higher-speed transit services are located on alignments near the airport, such as Boston, San Jose, Fort Lauderdale, and Baltimore. At MacArthur Airport A dedicated bus would link the Ronkonkoma LIRR station with the airport terminal. The service would be timed to connect to trains and feature amenities catering to air travelers.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Overview Enhanced buses, traveling along dedicated lanes with signal priority, offer reliable, convenient, and fast transit. Systemic operational control ensures high levels of service. Precedents Airports with BRT stations include LaGuardia Airport New York and Logan International in Boston. These routes provide service from various neighborhoods to the terminal. At MacArthur Airport New BRT stations at Ronkonkoma station and at the airport terminal. Transit signal priority and dedicated ROW along route to Airport. NYC Select Bus Service Vehicle, New York, NY (Image source: Arup) BRT Delivery Time Frame Airports with BRT stations include the ISP terminal building, as well as LaGuardia Airport New York and at Ronkonkoma station.

  • Emissions from the Taxi and For-Hire Vehicle Transportation Sector in New York City
    Emissions from the Taxi and For-Hire Vehicle Transportation Sector in New York City Authors (listed alphabetically) Jen Roberton Senior Transportation Policy Advisor, City of New York, Mayor’s Office of Sustainability [email protected] Stephan Schmidt (Former) Policy Analyst, City of New York, Taxi & Limousine Commission (Current) Senior Manager, Climate Change, CDP [email protected] Rodney Stiles Head of Policy, Populus Technologies [email protected] Abstract The launch of app-based for-hire vehicle (FHV) services like Uber and Lyft has led to increased mobility options, but the associated increase in vehicular traffic has also presented challenges. In New York City, the number of FHVs tripled between 2010 and 2019, to over one hundred thousand, due to the advent of such companies. This study seeks to understand the impact this increase in FHV usage has had on greenhouse gas emissions in New York City. The study uses data collected by the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission, which regulates the FHV and taxi industries, and the NYC Mayor’s Office of Sustainability, which publishes the City’s greenhouse gas emissions inventory. The main result of the study is that although the overall per-vehicle efficiency of the fleet has improved, the high growth in registered vehicles has led to emissions from FHVs and taxis increasing 66 percent from 2010 to 2018. Electric vehicles present an opportunity for emissions reductions in New York City’s FHV fleet if barriers to vehicle adoption are adequately addressed and if adoption of EVs does not outpace vehicle attrition. Keywords: Sustainability, TNC, For-Hire Vehicle, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, New Mobility, Uber, Lyft Roberton, Schmidt, Stiles Introduction Unprecedented growth in mobility options has fundamentally changed transportation in major cities.

CROTTY, United States District Judge: This case involves a dispute between New York City taxicab fleet owners and the City’s Taxicab & Limousine Commission (“TLC”), relating to new TLC regulations that promote the purchase of hybrid taxicabs by reducing the rates at which taxicab owners may lease their vehicles to taxi drivers—thus reducing the owners’ overall profit—if the vehicle does not have a hybrid or clean-diesel engine. The questions in this case are whether the TLC’s new rules are a mandate to taxicab owners to purchase only hybrid or clean-diesel vehicles, and whether such a mandate is preempted by federal law. The history of this case is relevant: on October 31, 2008, the Court preliminarily enjoined New York City’s requirement that all new taxicabs meet a specific miles-per-gallon (“mpg”) 1 Case 1:08-cv-07837-PAC Document 104 Filed 06/22/2009 Page 2 of 37 rating.
