NYMTC also collects and analyzes data related to freight movements at toll barriers in the metropolitan region. The region comprises the five boroughs of New York City; the lower Hudson Valley counties of Putnam, Rockland and Westchester; and Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island. NYMTC’s voting membership includes Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island and Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties in the lower Hudson Valley. New York City is represented through its Departments of Transportation and City Planning.

Place and time The meeting will be at the Headquarters Plaza Hotel in Morristown, New Jersey, November 9± 14, 1997. The hotel’s phone number is +1 800 225 1942 (± 1941 from inside New Jersey) or +1 973 898 9100, or by fax at +1 973 898 0726. 2. The hotel The Headquarters Plaza Hotel occupies the tallest building in Morristown. It is not affiliated with any chain, but accommodations are similar to major business hotel chains such as Hilton or Marriott. The rooms are newly renovated, and every room has a data jack. There is no surcharge for calls to toll-free numbers. The hotel is part of a complex that includes a multi-screen movie theater, several restaurants, and assorted shops. There are many other restaurants within easy walking distance, with a wide range of cuisines and prices. Also nearby is a commuter train to New York (about an hour each way). As a result, you will probably not need a car during the meeting. However, if you wish to rent a car from Avis (the number of the local branch is +1 973 538 1550) or Enterprise (+1 800 325 8007), they will arrange for you to pick it up and drop it off right at the hotel. There is also a Hertz location nearby.

  • Moving Toward Congestion-Reducing Toll Policies at the Port Authority and Throughout the Region
    Moving Toward Congestion-Reducing Toll Policies at the Port Authority and Throughout the Region Prepared for Roundtable Discussion on February 13, 2001 Bloustein School Rutgers University New Brunswick, New Jersey Jeffrey M. Zupan Senior Fellow Regional Plan Association The Trans-Hudson toll and fare increases recently approved by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey mark a pivotal moment in the metropolitan region’s history of transportation finance and traffic management. The action is the largest-scale attempt to date to manage congestion in the region with toll and fare increases that vary by time of day, and it brought the issue of value pricing to the public’s consciousness in a way that no prior actions or studies have accomplished. Whether this will be remembered as a catalytic event that ushered in a series of successful innovations that won widespread public acceptance of value pricing, or as an experiment that did little to change pricing and congestion management policies, will depend in large measure on a continuing series of policy choices that will have to be made by the all of the region’s transportation agencies, as well as by the political and civic leaders shape the course of these agencies. To help understand the implications of different policy choices, this paper attempts to put the Port Authority’s actions in the context of the region’s history with value pricing. To further stimulate creative thinking on these choices, it also extends that history with a speculative account of what could happen if policy makers, civic leaders and transportation managers make value pricing a priority and skillfully navigate the complex political and technical issues involved in large-scale implementation.
