Transportation During and After Hurricane Sandy
Transportation During and After Hurricane Sandy Sarah Kaufman, Carson Qing, Nolan Levenson and Melinda Hanson Rudin Center for Transportation NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service November 2012 1 Executive Summary Hurricane Sandy demonstrated the strengths and limits of the transportation infrastructure in New York City and the surrounding region. As a result of the timely and thorough preparations by New York City and the MTA, along with the actions of city residents and emergency workers to evacuate and adapt, the storm wrought far fewer casualties than might have occurred otherwise. The MTA and New York City Police Department, Departments of Transportation, Environmental Protection, and Sanitation worked quickly to pump water out of tunnels, repair infrastructure, enforce bus lanes, and clear debris. They also informed riders of service updates and the status of infrastructure, particularly with up-to-date maps, photos and videos provided by the MTA. The experience of Hurricane Sandy reinforced the importance of having multiple modes of transportation in the New York Region: subways, buses, bridges and tunnels, ferries as well as commuter rail systems in moving people in, through and out of the New York City and surrounding region. Hurricane Sandy also highlighted key investments and policies that should be considered to assure the viability of our infrastructure during future disasters: • Install backup power for subway pumps • Consider the use of porous pavement for streets in flood-prone areas • Locate building generators and fuel sources in flood prone areas on higher floors Hurricane Sandy and its impact on transportation also provided a timely message to all New Yorkers that public transportation is essential to the economic and social well being of the people who live, work and visit here. -
Chapter 1 — Background and Planning Context
Chapter 1 1 BACKGROUND AND PLANNING CONTEXT 1 Background and Planning Context The West of the Hudson Regional Transit Access Study (WHRTAS) has been initiated by MTA Metro- North Railroad (Metro-North) in partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Port Authority) and in cooperation with New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and New Jersey Transit (NJT) to improve mobility and accessibility in the West of Hudson region. Projected population and employment growth in Orange County, together with growth in ridership on Metro-North’s West of Hudson commuter service and a projected rise in Stewart International Airport (SWF) operations, necessitates the consideration of improved and expanded transit services for travelers in the region. WHRTAS evaluates alternatives for improving transit services between Central Orange County and Manhattan and access to SWF from the surrounding regions, Lower Hudson Valley and New York City. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is the lead federal agency for this study which is being conducted in accordance with FTA’s Alternatives Analysis requirements for New Starts program funds. The study also considered the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Extensive agency coordination and public outreach was implemented to obtain input and guidance throughout this study. This included the formation of a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which reviewed study material, advised on technical issues, and coordinated with a broad array of elected officials, agencies, organizations, and the general public through direct communication, workshops, roundtable discussions, and open houses. WHRTAS is being conducted in two phases. Phase I is the initial Alternatives Analysis (AA) phase, which evaluates the benefits, costs, and impacts of broad range of transit alternatives with the potential to meet the project's goals and objectives and concludes with the recommendation of a short list of alternatives. -

Transportation System
PART 4 ORANGE COUNTY’S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM As detailed in Part 3, Orange County’s People, Places, and Economy, people, businesses, and visitors depend on Orange County’s multimodal transportation network to access daily needs, get to work and school, attend meetings, and ship freight. People travel in personal vehicles for most of their trips in Orange County, but at peak periods, buses play an important role in moving large volumes of people from Orange County to employment centers outside the county, and trucks and delivery vehicles need roads to get goods into, out of, and through Orange County. This section summarizes the roads, bridges, rail lines, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities used by Orange County’s residents, visitors, and businesses, as well as the public transportation services and freight transportation services that operate over this infrastructure. | 75 ORANGE COUNTY LRTP 2045 OVERVIEW OF THE IN THIS SECTION TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM 68 Overview of the Transportation System 87 Performance of Orange County’s Transportation Network Roads and Highways 101 Vulnerabilities, Risks, and Opportunities Orange County has more than 2,800 centerline miles of roadway. The roads that comprise the network fall under the jurisdiction of the New York crossing the Hudson River into Dutchess State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) County, and continues east into Connecti- and the New York State Thruway Authority cut. Aside from passing lanes on major (NYSTA) (which together operate and maintain uphill grades, I-84 has two lanes in each about 14 percent of the centerline miles of road- direction through Orange County, although way in the county), Orange County (11 percent), there are three lanes each way east of U.S. -
Index to the Archives Of
INDEX TO THE RECORDS OF THE TOWN OF SALEM NEW YORK WASHINGTON COUNTY PREPARED BY THE TOWN HISTORIAN ARCHIVE ROOM HISTORIC SALEM COMMUNITY COURT HOUSE CENTER 58 EAST BROADWAY Updated January 2016 INTRODUCTION The index describes the records of the town of Salem, including the historical records held by the historian. The archives contain those records, pictures, artifacts, correspondence, etc., which have and will have administrative, legal, research and historical value. Without these records much of our history would be lost forever. In 1992, a grant from the NYS Archives and Records Administration (SARA) enabled the town and village of Salem to begin the process of sorting, inventorying, preserving and cataloging the town and village records. In addition to the actual records, a microfilm format of Salem’s oldest records, including local newspapers, vital records, town minutes and the Dr. Asa Fitch, Jr., journals, exist in the village archives and town office. Microfilming was made possible through a Washington County SARA grant and Dr. Asa Fitch Historical Society funds. For the 2004-2005 year, a NYS Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund grant enabled the town to create its own historical archives, historian’s office, and inactive storage in the old Washington County Courthouse building at 58 East Broadway. All town records were moved from the inactive storage room in the Proudfit Building, as well as selected historical records from the Town Clerk’s Office on Main Street. This historical archive index was prepared through the efforts of William A. Cormier, historian and grant coordinator, and Dolores Phaneuf, archival clerk.
