  • 3.5: Freight Movement
    3.5 Freight Movement 3.5 Freight Movement A. INTRODUCTION This section describes the characteristics of the existing rail freight services and railroad operators in the project area. Also addressed is the relationship between those services and Build Alternative long-term operations. The study area contains several rail freight lines and yards that play key roles in the movement of goods to and from the Port of New York and New Jersey, the largest port on the east coast, as well as in the movement of goods vital to businesses and residents in multiple states. However, no long-term freight movement impacts are anticipated with the Build Alternative, and no mitigation measures will be required. B. SERVICE TYPES The following freight rail services are offered in the project area: • Containerized or “inter-modal” consists primarily of containers or Example of Doublestack Train with Maritime truck trailers moved on rail cars. Containers Intermodal rail traffic is considered the fastest growing rail freight market, and is anticipated to grow in the region between 3.9 and 5.6 percent annually through 2030, based on the NJTPA Freight System Performance Study (see Table 3.5-1). • Carload traffic consists of products that are typically moved in boxcars, hopper cars, tank cars, and special lumber cars over a long distance by rail, and then either transported directly by rail or Example of Carload Rail Traffic shifted to truck for delivery to more local customers. The characteristics of these commodities (e.g., bulk, heavy or over- dimensional) make rail the preferred option for long-distance movement.

  • Regional Transit Projects Project Sheet | Portal Bridge Replacement (Portal North)
    Appendix B Capital Plan Project Sheets Regional Transit Projects Project Sheet | Portal Bridge Replacement (Portal North) Description The existing Portal Bridge is a ±960-foot long structure which carries the Existing: Portal Bridge Northeast Corridor (NEC) over the Hackensack River between Newark Penn Station and Secaucus Junction. The existing movable, swing span bridge was constructed in 1910, is 110-years old, and has exceeded its originally intended service life. Due to its age and frequency of use, the movable bridge is costly and difficult to maintain and experiences frequent breakdowns. The two-track bridge creates a bottleneck between the four-track territories to the east and west and requires train speed reductions of 30% which contributes to a decrease in rail service reliability. Given its low vertical clearance to the river, frequent bridge openings are required to accommodate marine traffic. Also, mechanical component malfunctions often cause the bridge to be open for extended periods of time, resulting in frequent, lengthy delays of rail service on the NEC. Additionally, the existing bridge does not have enough capacity to accommodate anticipated future demand. If funded, this project would replace the existing bridge with a higher, more reliable, double track fixed bridge on a new alignment to the north of the existing bridge. The increased vertical profile would eliminate interruptions to rail service due to required bridge openings. The new north bridge would also eliminate speed restrictions, thereby improving Proposed: New Bridge rail operation and capacity across the span. A second, two-track southern bridge, Portal South, is contemplated separately as part of the overall Gateway Program, which when complete would substantially increase operational capacity along this critical length of the NEC.

This thesis attempts find out which characteristics of airport rail links most strongly influence mode share so that future rail link plans can be assessed. These findings are then applied to the current plans for an airport rail link in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The thesis begins by examining current airport rail links in the U.S. Detailed case studies are performed for the following airports: John F. Kennedy, Philadelphia, Boston Logan, Washington National, Chicago O'Hare, Chicago Midway, and San Jose.

  • • 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.

  • 3.2: Station Access and Parking
    3.2 Station Access and Parking 3.2 Station Access and Parking A. INTRODUCTION NEW JERSEY Potential Build and No Build Alternative additions to certain parking facilities at NJ TRANSIT commuter rail stations are considered in this section. Parking at stations is provided by NJ TRANSIT, municipalities, and/or private operators throughout New Jersey. In Orange and Rockland Counties in New York, station parking is provided in coordination with Metro-North Railroad. Orange and Rockland Counties are assessed in this section because the parking analysis is based on NJ TRANSIT line segment, i.e., those groupings of stations that share similar service patterns and are close to one another (Figure 3.2-1). The analysis was completed at the segment level rather than at the station level, given the close station spacing (e.g., many stations are within 1 to 2 miles of each other), population densities in northern and central New Jersey and the connectivity of the local and regional roadway network throughout New Jersey. Because some NJ TRANSIT rail lines are located close to each other, passengers can choose between two rail lines depending on the availability of parking. This situation occurs with the individual Main and Bergen County Line segments, and also applies to other locations, such as stations along the Gladstone Branch and the Raritan Valley Line. As a result, shortfalls in parking demand can realistically be addressed at any station within a given segment, using a range of options from new construction of spaces to increased transit access, such as expansion of bus lines or implementation of community shuttle services.
