  • Review of the a and C Lines
    Review of the A and C Lines ,. December 11, 2015 Page intentionally left blank AC Line Review Executive Summary Executive Summary The attached report provides a comprehensive review of operations on the A and C lines. Combined, the two lines serve 800,000 riders a day across three boroughs and connect to many of the most important intermodal hubs in New York City. The A differs from most other New York City Transit subway lines in that its route splits three ways at its southern end in eastern Queens. It is also exceptionally long, at 32 miles between 207 St and Far Rockaway-Mott Av. Like many other subway lines, it merges several times with other lines. The combination of these traits tends to reduce reliability. In contrast, the C is a shorter line scheduled to run less frequently than the A and many other lines. C service is relatively reliable, even though it has historically been assigned some of the oldest cars in the system. This review has been prepared within the context of NYC Transit’s service planning procedures, and all discussions of service levels take into account established guidelines for designing and scheduling service. NYC Transit determines how many trains run on a given line based on a number of factors, including line capacity, equipment availability, and the Rapid Transit Loading Guidelines. The Guidelines ensure that limited resources are equitably allocated throughout the system by establishing, by time of day, maximum passenger load levels and minimum service frequencies, where operationally feasible. The Guidelines are applied by evaluating average ridership levels at locations where trains are most heavily loaded (“peak load points”) to develop recommended service frequencies, where operationally feasible.

Samuelsen R. Glucksman L. Schwartz MTA New York City Transit reinstituted front door boarding and fare collection on local buses on August 31st,, ending a short term, stop-gap measure where customers boarded from bus rear doors, put in place to help safeguard employees and customers from health risks. Protective barriers around bus operators were installed on more than 5,800 buses, allowing front door boarding and fare collection to resume safely. The change increases bus capacity by 40 percent for enhanced social distancing. Additionally, the white safety line on the bus floor that riders should stand behind was pushed back to provide more distance between the operator and customers.

  • Gerritsen Beach Sheepshead B
    This document was developed by the Gerritsen Beach/Sheepshead Bay Planning Committee as part of the NY Rising Community Reconstruction (NYRCR) Program within the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery. The NYRCR Program is supported by NYS Homes and Community Renewal, NYS Department of State, and NYS Department of Transportation. Assistance was provided by the following consulting firms: URS Corporation, the LiRo Group, Jamie Caplan Consulting LLC, and AIM Development Group. Gerritsen Beach and Sheepshead Bay Conceptual Plan FOREWORD The New York Rising Community Reconstruction (NYRCR) program was established by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to provide additional rebuilding and revitalization assistance to communities damaged by Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Irene, and Tropical Storm Lee. This program empowers communities to prepare locally-driven recovery plans to identify innovative reconstruction projects and other needed actions to allow each community not only to survive, but also to thrive in an era when natural risks will become increasingly common. The NYRCR program is managed by the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery in conjunction with New York State Homes and Community Renewal and the Department of State. The NYRCR program consists of both planning and implementation phases, to assist communities in making informed recovery decisions. The development of this conceptual plan is the result of innumerable hours of effort from volunteer planning committee members, members of the public, municipal employees, elected officials, state employees, and planning consultants. Across the state, over 102 communities are working together to build back better and stronger. This conceptual plan is a snapshot of the current thoughts of the community and planning committee.

  • Nostrand Avenue Bus Rapid Transit – Making the Case
    Nostrand Avenue Bus Rapid Transit – Making the Case Project Identification Nostrand Avenue is a heavily traveled north-south arterial corridor in Brooklyn, NY, that currently suffers from slow and unreliable bus service. The New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) and MTA New York City Transit (NYCT) are working together to improve the speed and reliability of bus service on key corridors throughout New York City, including Nostrand Avenue. The Nostrand Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service will be a 9.3 mile route replacing the existing NYCT B44 Limited-Stop bus route, which serves 17,000 customers on an average weekday. (The B44 local route serves an additional 24,000 customers.) This BRT project will provide fast and reliable bus service along a key north-south route in Brooklyn, connecting densely-populated residential areas with multiple subway lines, bus routes, shopping areas, two colleges, and two major hospitals. (See the attached map.) Nostrand Avenue provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the impact of low-cost BRT solutions along an existing high ridership corridor located in a dense residential and commercial area. Nostrand Avenue is already the fourth busiest bus route in New York City, with 13.6 million annual riders, and ridership on the route is expected to grow once BRT service is implemented as a result of improved speed and reliability, as well as increased frequency and longer hours of service. Setting Brooklyn is one of the five boroughs of New York City, and is coterminous with Kings County. Located at the southwest tip of Long Island and immediately to the southeast of Manhattan, Brooklyn is New York City’s most populous borough, with over 2.5 million residents and a population density of over 35,000 residents per square mile.
