Transportation in New York City Is Complex Due to the Many Different Modes of Travel, the Ways They Interact, and the Grand Scale of It All Credit: NYCDOT Transportation CHAPTER 10 | TRANSPORTATION 174 How the Transportation System Works Transportation in New York City is complex due to the many different modes of travel, the ways they interact, and the grand scale of it all. And New Yorkers use this system in overwhelmingly large numbers, with 7.6 million daily subway and bus riders, close to 850,000 daily commuter rail riders, and almost 2 million people crossing the region’s major bridges and tunnels every day. This network is busy for much of the day and night—not just during traditional commuting hours—with freight moving around the region by truck, hospital workers going to and from their shifts, and local residents and tourists visiting the city’s many attractions.

    A Guide to Historic New York City Neighborhoods A TL A NTIC A VENUE BROOKLYN The Historic Districts Council is New York’s citywide advocate for historic buildings and neighborhoods. The Six to Celebrate program annually identifies six historic New York City neighborhoods that merit preservation as priorities for HDC’s advocacy and consultation over a yearlong period. The six, chosen from applications submitted by community organizations, are selected on the basis of the architectural and historic merit of the area, the level of threat to the neighborhood, the strength and willingness of the local advocates, and the potential for HDC’s preservation support to be meaningful. HDC works with these neighborhood partners to set and reach preservation goals through strategic planning, advocacy, outreach, programs and publicity. The core belief of the Historic Districts Council is that preservation and enhancement of New York City’s historic resources—its neighborhoods, buildings, parks and public spaces— are central to the continued success of the city. The Historic Districts Council works to ensure the preservation of these resources and uphold the New York City Landmarks Law and to further the preservation ethic. This mission is accomplished through ongoing programs of assistance to more than 500 community and neighborhood groups and through public-policy initiatives, publications, educational outreach and sponsorship of community events. Support is provided in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

    THE CITY OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE MAYOR NEW YORK, NY 10007 THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON SPACE, SCIENCE, & TECHNOLOGY SUBCOMMITTEE ON INVESTIGATIONS AND OVERSIGHT Testimony of Susanne DesRoches, Deputy Director for Infrastructure and Energy, New York City Mayor’s Office of Resiliency. Tuesday, May 21, 2019 I. INTRODUCTION Good morning. My name is Susanne DesRoches and I am the Deputy Director for Infrastructure and Energy for the New York City Mayor’s Office of Resiliency. On behalf of the Mayor and the City of New York, I would like to thank Chair Sherrill and Ranking Member Norman for the opportunity to speak today about the City’s challenges, accomplishments, and opportunities to build a more resilient transportation network that will benefit New Yorkers and the nation’s economy as a whole. Nearly seven years ago, Hurricane Sandy hit New York City with unprecedented force, tragically killing 44 New Yorkers,1 and causing over $19 billion in damages and lost economic activity. Neighborhoods were devastated: 88,700 buildings were flooded; 23,400 businesses were impacted; and our region’s infrastructure was seriously disrupted.2 Over 2,000,000 residents were without power for weeks and fuel shortages persisted for over a month.3 Cross river subway and rail tunnels vital to the movement of people and goods were closed for days. Our airports were closed to passenger and freight traffic, and our ports sustained substantial damage to physical infrastructure as well as goods stored at their facilities. In short, Sandy highlighted New York City’s vulnerability to climate change and rising seas and underscores the urgency of the actions we’ve taken since then to build a stronger, more resilient city.

    SUFFOLK COUNTY LEGISLATURE Robert Lipp BUDGET REVIEW OFFICE Director May 31, 2019 Honorable DuWayne Gregory, Presiding Officer, and Members of the Suffolk County Legislature William H. Rogers Legislature Building 725 Veterans Memorial Highway Smithtown, New York 11787 Dear Legislators: The attached report presents the Budget Review Office analysis of the financial and statistical data presented by South Ferry Company, Inc. in support of its petition for a rate increase in 2019. Procedural Motion No. 17-2019 authorizes the public hearings for the rate approval, and if adopted, Introductory Resolution No. 1534-2019 authorizes the requested rate increases. The Budget Review Office conducted a thorough review of the certified and audited financial statements prepared by an accountant with satisfactory peer review status. South Ferry Company, Inc. last received a rate increase in 2012. The petitioner requests an increase in most fare categories; the average increase is 9.81%. Some round trip fares have been reduced as part of the restructuring of truck rates. The largest requested increase, of 100%, is for the non-resident passenger fare, which increases from $1.00 to $2.00. The largest dollar increase is for the one-way fare for a tank truck carrying more than 2,500 gallons. The casual traveler and commercial truck traffic continue to subsidize resident travel as they have historically, and as is typical for any ferry and bridge travelers; the petition raises resident rates, but raises casual traveler fares more. The Budget Review Office recommends that the applicant’s request for a rate increase be approved. Given the company’s financial statements and projections, the rate increase is reasonable, especially given rising costs for fuel and personnel, and the continuous need for capital improvements to the vessels and landings.

  • Principles and Revised Preliminary Blueprint for the Future of Lower Manhattan
    Lower Manhattan Development Corporation 1 Liberty Plaza, 20th Floor New York, NY 10006 Phone: (212) 962-2300 Fax: (212) 962-2431 PRINCIPLES AND REVISED PRELIMINARY BLUEPRINT FOR THE FUTURE OF LOWER MANHATTAN When New York City was attacked on September 11, 2001, the United States and the democratic ideals upon which it was founded were also attacked. The physical damage New York City sustained was devastating and the human toll was immeasurable. But New York does not bear the loss alone. In the aftermath of September 11, the entire nation has embraced New York, and we have responded by vowing to rebuild our City – not as it was, but better than it was before. Although we can never replace what was lost, we must remember those who perished, rebuild what was destroyed, and renew Lower Manhattan as a symbol of our nation’s resilience. This is the mission of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. The LMDC, a subsidiary of Empire State Development, was formed by the Governor and Mayor as a joint State-City Corporation to oversee the revitalization of Lower Manhattan south of Houston Street. LMDC works in cooperation with the Port Authority and all stakeholders to coordinate long-term planning for Lower Manhattan while concurrently pursuing initiatives to improve the quality of life. The task before us is immense. Our most important priority is to create a permanent memorial on the World Trade Center site that appropriately honors those who were lost, while reaffirming the democratic ideals that came under attack on September 11. Millions of people will journey to Lower Manhattan each year to visit what will be a world-class memorial in an area steeped in historical significance and filled with cultural treasures – including the Statute of Liberty and Ellis Island.
