  • Analysis and Findings
    The 2005 Transit Strike : Transportation Impacts and Analysis Analysis and Findings During the course of the Transit Strike, the Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) implemented a comprehensive data collection and monitoring program. NYCDOT synthesized this data to understand the regional travel patterns by various modes of travel during the course of the strike. These findings are summarized in the following section. This program focused on providing the following components: • Traffic Patterns in the Manhattan Central Business District (CBD) • Vehicle entries and exits into and out of the CBD • Vehicle volumes on key arterials and limited access highways • Vehicle occupancy and classification • Vehicle Travel Times and Speeds • Traffic Patterns in the Boroughs • Vehicle volumes on limited access roadways • Vehicle speeds • Pedestrian and Bicycle Travel Trends • Functioning Transit Service • Waterborne Transportation • Private Bus Lines • Commuter Rail/PATH Service • Taxicab Usage 34 © 2006 Adam Fields, http://www.adamfields.com All Rights Reserved The 2005 Transit Strike : Transportation Impacts and Analysis Traffic Patterns in the Manhattan Central Business District (CBD) One of the primary goals of the 2005 Strike Contingency Plan was to limit vehicle entries into Manhattan and maximize vehicle occupancy. The Manhattan Central Business District (CBD) represents one of the primary trip generators in the city with the high rate of employment, land use density and number of trips into and out of the area. The Department frequently tracks traffic patterns in the CBD, so there was a good foundation for existing or before numbers. Vehicle Entries into the Manhattan CBD The implementation and enforcement of the HOV-4 restriction during the 5-11 AM period had a dramatic effect on controlling vehicle entries into the Manhattan CBD.
