COVID19 IMPACTS on TRANSPORTATION Produced by the NYC Department of City Planning’S Transportation Division COVID19 IMPACTS ON TRANSPORTATION Produced by the NYC Department of City Planning’s Transportation Division October 6, 2020 October 6, 2020 Introduction • The NYC Department of City Planning's Transportation Division is compiling data to help understand the effects of COVID19 on the transportation network. This report and all prior reports beginning in April 2020 can be found at https://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/planning-level/transportation/transportation-overview.page • This week’s report includes the following information: 1. Executive Summary 2. Citywide Trends 3. MTA: Subway and Bus 4. MTA: Metro North Railroad, Long Island Rail Road, Access-A-Ride 5. Ferry 6. Traffic 7. Citi Bike 8. Timeline • This report may serve to help in pandemic response and longer-term recovery. We are eager for feedback in how to make this more useful. Feel free to reach out to Laura Smith ([email protected]) with questions or comments. October 6, 2020 2 Executive Summary • Gains in travel across different modes have been substantial, but distributed unevenly, since the mid-April low. The modes showing the greatest gains since April are those that experienced the greatest declines at the start of the pandemic. • After a substantial post-Labor day increase, weekday subway ridership has stabilized, and ridership during the week of September 28 was up only 2 percent over the week of September 14. • The city’s business districts in midtown and lower Manhattan, downtown Brooklyn, and Long Island City continue to see less than a quarter of their PM peak subway entries, indicating a very limited return to work in those areas. • Year over year, the greatest ridership differences are currently seen in neighborhoods with the strongest likelihood of having telework-capable populations, including much of Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Long Island City, and Astoria. • Since the start of September, the Staten Island Ferry has recovered an average of 36 percent of its daily ridership, compared to 2019 levels. Weekday peak hour ridership for the two-week period of September 21 to October 4 remains an hour earlier than what it was last year at this time. • Total average weekday daytime inbound vehicles to Manhattan and the Manhattan central business district are comparable to pre-pandemic levels, while evening traffic volumes remain lower. • From June through September 2020, Citi Bike ridership has been fairly consistent with ridership patterns during the same months in 2019. Afternoon peak hour Citi Bike rides exceed 2019 volumes; morning peak hour rides remain lower.

October 6, 2020 6 MTA data: Subway and Bus October 6, 2020 7 MTA Subway & Bus System-wide Ridership Changes Percent Change of Estimated* MTA Subway & Bus Weekly Ridership (March 1- October 4, 2020) 30% 20% 10% 0% -10% -20% -30% -40% -50% -60% -70% Subway Bus • On September 1, the MTA resumed fare collection on buses, after suspending collection on March 23, 2020. Bus ridership dropped by more than 22 percent that week, while subway ridership increased by more than 11 percent. The drop in bus riders and increase in subway riders during the first week of September likely reflects a resulting mode shift. • While bus ridership appears to have fallen by nearly 5% over the past week, the MTA changed their methodology* in calculating ridership and includes the following note, which likely explains some if not all of the decline: ”Bus ridership data from 10/1/20 onward is based on actual MetroCard and OMNY swipes and taps and an estimate of cash fares paid.” *Previously from the MTA: Current bus ridership figures are estimated from models that use MetroCard and OMNY swipes and taps and Automatic Passenger Counter data that is available on a portion of our bus fleet. These figures are indicative of ridership but not a precise count. Figures from recent days may be revised as reconciliation processes are carried out. Data sources: MTA (https://new.mta.info/coronavirus/ridership) October 6, 2020 8 MTA Subway System-wide Ridership Changes Estimated* MTA Subway Ridership (March 1- October 4, 2020) 6000000 5000000 • Weekday subway ridership during the week of September 28 was up 2 percent over the week of September 14, 4000000 and weekend ridership was up 3 percent over the week of September 14. 3000000 • Weekday subway ridership is Ridership now at nearly 35 percent of 2019 averages. 2000000 1000000 0 From the MTA: Subway ridership figures are determined from MetroCard and OMNY swipes and taps. Figures from recent days may be revised as data reconciliation processes are carried out. Data sources: MTA (https://new.mta.info/coronavirus/ridership) October 6, 2020 9 MTA Bus System-wide Ridership Changes Estimated * MTA Bus Ridership (March 1- October 4, 2020) 2500000 • Weekday bus ridership reportedly was down 4 percent during the week of September 28 from the week of September 14, while 2000000 weekend ridership was down 10 percent compared to the week of September 14. 1500000 • However, the MTA changed how ridership is reported, noting on their website: “Bus ridership data from 10/1/20 Ridership 1000000 onward is based on actual MetroCard and OMNY swipes and taps and an estimate of cash fares paid.” 500000 • Weekday bus ridership is now at nearly half of 2019 averages. 0 From the MTA: Current bus ridership figures are estimated from models that use MetroCard and OMNY swipes and taps and Automatic Passenger Counter data that is available on a portion of our bus fleet. These figures are indicative of ridership but not a precise count. Figures from recent days may be revised as reconciliation processes are carried out. Data sources: MTA (https://new.mta.info/coronavirus/ridership) October 6, 2020 10 Weekday AM and PM Peak Turnstile Data – Comparisons with April 2020 • In mid-April, subway travel was at its lowest. Ridership has been increasing since then, to varying degrees across the city. • The AM peak hour map may indicate where commuters are returning to the subway system, while the PM peak hour map may indicate where people are commuting home from. • Much of Queens and south Brooklyn are seeing strong AM peak hour gains. The city’s business districts have gained substantial PM peak ridership since mid-April.

  • • the Activation of OMNY Readers at the Queensboro Plaza Station in Queens Marks the Completion of the Line and the Halfway Po
    The activation of OMNY readers at the Queensboro Plaza station in Queens marks the completion of the line and the halfway point in the MTA's effort to activate OMNY at all 472 subway stations in the system. OMNY installation remains set to be completed by the end of the year at all subway stations and on all MTA-operated buses. A list of all subway stations and bus routes where OMNY is currently in use is at this link: https://omny.info/system-rollout In March, the MTA announced OMNY had surpassed 10 million taps. In 2021, the MTA will introduce an OMNY card at retail locations throughout the New York region. Also in 2021, the MTA will begin to install new vending machines at locations throughout the system. OMNY readers accept contactless cards from companies such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Fitbit Pay. Following the completion of OMNY installation at all subway turnstiles and on buses, the MTA will introduce all remaining fare options, including unlimited ride passes, reduced fares, student fares, and more. Only after OMNY is fully available everywhere MetroCard is today, expected in 2023, will the MTA say goodbye to the MetroCard. The MetroCard was first tested in the system in 1993, debuting to the larger public in January 1994. All turnstiles were MetroCard-enabled by May 1997 and all buses began accepting it by the end of 1995. Tokens were sold until April 2003 and acceptance was discontinued that May in subway stations and that December on buses.

    May 12, 2020 Kate Perez Baywater Corbin Partners, LLC 1019 Boston Post Road Darien, CT 06820 Town of Darien Architectural Review Board 2 Renshaw Road Darien, CT 06820 Follow up to: ARB #08 – 2020, Baywater Corbin Partners, LLC, CBD Zone and Corbin Subarea. Revisions to Proposed Buildings I, H, and K on the east side of Corbin Drive Dear Architectural Review Board Members: We sincerely appreciate your time in reviewing the height adjustments to the first three buildings of our Corbin project and value your guidance. We understand the height adjustments proposed have been approved and we are writing in response to two other suggestions that arose during our discussion related to 1) the residential entries on buildings H and K and 2) the building H storefronts. We have addressed those comments in the following drawings. First, we have re‐evaluated the residential entries on buildings K and H with an eye toward making those entries more solid than the glass entries originally proposed, and with a more markedly residential feel. The reconsidered entries for each building, and elevations shown at the 4/29/2020 ARB meeting, are attached here for your review. Second, there was a question about the rhythm and amount of storefront glass on the building H facade facing Corbin Drive. On a typical mixed‐use new development, the ground floor storefronts would be designed by the tenants of the various spaces. On building H, Beinfield Architects is designing the storefronts so we can ensure the best possible overall composition. Beinfield has made a few adjustments to the storefronts to adjust the rhythm and increase the amount of non‐glass surface.
