14TH STREET TRANSIT & TRUCK PRIORITY PILOT PROJECT

QUARTERLY REPORT | WINTER 2020 14TH STREET TRANSIT & TRUCK PRIORITY PILOT PROJECT BACKGROUND QUARTERLY REPORT | WINTER 2020

Pilot Project Background The 14th Street Transit & Truck Priority (TTP) Pilot Project was implemented by the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) in October 2019, aiming to improve operations of the M14 A and M14 D Select Bus Service (M14 A/D SBS). The TTP Pilot Project also aims to increase safety on this Vision Zero Priority Corridor while maintaining the street as an important truck route.

From 6 AM–10 PM, only buses, trucks, and emergency vehicles are allowed to drive on 14th Street from 3rd Avenue to 8th Avenue heading westbound, and 9th Avenue to 3rd Avenue heading eastbound. Other vehicles are allowed to drive on 14th Street for local trips, pick-up/drop-off, and garage access but must make the next available right turn off of 14th Street. All left turns are restricted off of the TTP corridor, except for MTA buses at certain intersections. Updates to the curb regulations along the TTP corridor were implemented to prioritize passenger pick-up/drop-off (taxis and personal vehicles) and commercial loading.

Additional elements of the pilot include new pedestrian space around Union Square, painted curb extensions to shorten pedestrian crossings, and bus boarding platforms.

Since 2014, Vision Vision Zero (Safety) Zero has been New E York City’s initiative to V Priority Intersections A eliminate deaths and E H V serious injuries from T A BROADWAY TTP Zone 9 traffic crashes through H T E 8 V engineering, enforce- A ment, and education.

Monitoring Plan Winter 2020 Study Area Activity Sam Schwartz is monitoring the performance of the 14th Street TTP Î In April 2019, the L Train began operating with reduced Pilot Project and its effects on adjacent roadways. For this project, service between Manhattan and Brooklyn after 8 PM on Sam Schwartz is partnering with Traffic Databank for data collection weekdays and all day on weekends to accommodate work and Public Works Partners for public engagement. The monitoring on the tunnel. Reduced service was in effect at the time plan includes tracking and evaluation of Metropolitan Transportation data for this report was collected; however, work on the tunnel was completed on April 27, 2020. Authority New York City Transit (MTA NYCT) bus performance; vehicle speeds and volumes on area roadways; and bicycle activity.

Sam Schwartz will continue to create and release periodic » January 18, 19, 25, 26 (weekends) monitoring reports and the final Pilot Evaluation Report about the 11th Street, between 6th Avenue and 7th Avenue performance of the TTP Pilot Project. » January 18, 19, 25, 26 (weekends) 15th Street, between Union Square E and Irving Place

REPORT RELEASE SCHEDULE: UPDATE ON FUTURE MONITORING REPORTS: Preliminary Report: Fall 2019 All data included in the Winter 2020 Quarterly Report was collected in January/February 2020, prior to the Quarterly Report: Winter 2020 “New York State on PAUSE” executive order issued by Governor Cuomo that went into effect on March 22nd.

Project Updates In response to area conditions, NYCDOT made changes to improve the performance of 14th Street and nearby roadways since launching the 14th Street TTP Pilot Project on October 3, 2019. These include the following: Î Added additional green time for westbound traffic at the intersection of 13th Street and 5th Avenue; signal timing on other streets continues to be monitored. Î Added additional signage to 14th Street and along approaching avenues to better inform drivers of the new traffic regulations. Î Installed plastic delineators (bollards) along the expanded pedestrian areas adjacent to Union Square. Î Installed bus boarding platforms (temporary sidewalk extensions at bus stops) along 14th Street to facilitate passenger access at key stops and to provide additional waiting space outside the flow of pedestrian traffic. Î Installed benches at six locations along 14th Street for the convenience and comfort of bus passengers and pedestrians. Î Implemented automated enforcement along 14th Street, with both fixed position and bus-mounted cameras.

NYCDOT and MTA continue to address issues as they arise to ensure the success of the TTP Pilot Project.

6 14TH STREET TRANSIT & TRUCK PRIORITY PILOT PROJECT MTA BUS OPERATIONS QUARTERLY REPORT | WINTER 2020 14th Street buses are more reliable, faster, and have higher ridership SUMMARY AVERAGE BUS TRAVEL TIME Î Improving bus speeds and reliability was a primary stated goal of PRE-IMPLEMENTATION M14 A/D M14 A/D SBS: 1 the 14th Street TTP Pilot Project. Citywide, average bus speeds 14th Street between (January 2018) declined 3% from 2010 to 2017 (2019 Mobility Report). Prior PRE-IMPLEMENTATION M14 A/D 3rd Avenue & 8th Avenue 1 to implementation of the 14th Street TTP Pilot Project, M14 A (January 2019) and M14 D buses were chronically unreliable, with slow and POST-IMPLEMENTATION M14 A/D SBS unpredictable travel times due to background traffic on 14th (January 2020) 1 Street, and had gradually decreasing ridership.

Î Since implementation of the project, buses have become Weekday Westbound Weekday Eastbound significantly more reliable, able to traverse 14th Street more easily and adhere more closely to schedules. These operational improvements have been noticed by customers and translated 14.0 12.9 18.0 12.4 15.3 11.4 16.0 15.0 into drastically higher ridership (bucking city-wide bus ridership 12.0 10.8 10.6 14.0 trends). 10.0 9.3 12.1 11.8 12.0 10.8 Î Some bus riders, though, have complained that the removal 8.0 10.0 9.0 of certain bus stops is detrimental to disabled and elderly 6.0 8.0 customers; in particular, the bus stops at 14th Street and Fifth 6.0 4.0 % % Avenue, and various stops in the Lower East Side were mentioned 13.9 14.5 4.0 25.5% 29.5% FASTER FASTER FASTER FASTER by community members.
