Economics Research Associates Fort Monmouth Market Analysis Project No. 17269 Page 3 C DRAFT I. Executive Summary Fort Monmouth is home to the United States Army Communications and Electronics Command (CECOM). The 1,100-acre base is located in Monmouth County, New Jersey and geographically spans three municipalities – Eatontown, Oceanport, and Tinton Falls (the “host communities”). In 2005, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) recommended its closure, which is mandated to occur in 2011. The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Planning Authority (FMERPA) retained a consultant team led by EDAW to develop a master plan for the base which will guide its redevelopment. The team tasked Economics Research Associates (ERA) with analyzing existing conditions in the region from a demographic and economic standpoint; assessing the market demand for office, industrial/flex, residential, retail and hotel uses; examining demand for institutional and government uses; and reviewing the opportunities for short- term and enhanced use leases. The following constitutes an executive summary of ERA’s findings: Existing Conditions Demographics The three host communities are expected to add a total of 484 households from 2006 to 2011, or roughly 97 households a year. Monmouth is projected to grow by 8,100 households through 2011 or 1,620 households annually. Oceanport residents are, on average, older than residents in the other two communities Eatontown and Oceanport are expected to have less children under 19 in 2011; Tinton Falls is expected to have more children aged 15-19 Oceanport and Tinton Falls are more affluent than Eatontown All three communities will add more households earning over $100,000 a year by 2011. This may bode well for retail development as the area becomes more affluent. All three communities will have more people aged 55 to 69 and over 80 by 2011. This may have implications on the demand for senior housing, some of which may be accommodated on Fort Monmouth. Regional Economic Profile Monmouth County is part of the Edison Labor Area along with Middlesex, Ocean and Somerset Counties (hereto referred to as the “Four-County Area”) The industries in the Four-County Area with the highest employment are: o Retail Trade o Health Care and Social Assistance o Local Government Economics Research Associates Fort Monmouth Market Analysis Project No. 17269 Page 4 DRAFT o Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services o Manufacturing The Four-County Area has experienced steady employment growth in the Health Care and Professional Services sectors over the last few years. This trend could present redevelopment opportunities for medical and professional office uses. The major employers in Monmouth County are in Health Care, Government, and Educational Services. Defense contractors associated with the Fort are a large part of the economic market in Monmouth County as both employers and users of office and industrial/flex space. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) The Fort Monmouth local and regional areas present a unique set of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) which will play an important role in the redevelopment of the base. Based on the existing conditions assessment, market analysis and examination of institutional and government uses, ERA has developed the following SWOT evaluation. Strengths Strong growth in empty-nester and pre-empty-nester age groups Good transportation access o Convenient to Garden State Parkway and Route 35 Existing recreational amenities, including golf course, marina, walking trails, etc. Weaknesses Rising housing prices Low wages in retail and service sectors Few options for truck access limit options for industrial/flex space Awkward building locations on site may limit future options Poor quality and vacant retail separates recent retail development on Route 35 and Fort Monmouth Opportunities Acres of open, developable land in heavily developed local area Provision of affordable housing Potential for transit connections Economics Research Associates Fort Monmouth Market Analysis Project No. 17269 Page 5 DRAFT Active community engagement and interest in the future of Fort enhances the potential to support uses on site in the interest of the communities’ and region’s future Good visibility in the region Potential reuse

    UNITED WE RIDE TRANSPORTATION STUDY MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Submitted to: New Jersey Transit Submitted by: Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders Department of Human Services Division of Transportation Henry Nicholson, Director October, 2007 UNITED WE RIDE TRANSPORTATION STUDY MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY BACKGROUND The United We Ride Transportation study had its impetus from Federal Executive Order 1330 (February 2004), which required all government agencies to collaborate in order to ensure transportation services are seamless, comprehensive and accessible (in order to receive federal funds). This Executive Order required coordination from the Secretaries of the Department of Transportation (DOT), Health and Human Services (HHS), Labor (DOL), Education, Interior, Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Agriculture, (USDA), and Veterans Affairs (VA) as well as the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, the Attorney General and the Chairperson of the National Council on Disability to form a new Interagency Transportation Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (CCAM). This Council is charged with seeking ways to simplify access to transportation services for persons with disabilities, persons with lower incomes and older adults. The regulatory review has found there are 62 human service transportation programs with little uniformity, delivery, eligibility or reporting requirements. At least 37 programs provide reimbursement to consumer’s transportation expenses and 26 programs purchase vehicles, operate or contract for transportation. DOT has been in the forefront of this collaboration with the passage of SAFETEA-LU, the federal transportation legislation that required recipient of federal funding Section 5310, 5311 funding, Reverse Commute and New Freedom, to have a transportation coordination plan in place.

    Department of Transportation and Motor Vehicle Commission FY 2021-2022 Discussion Points NJ Transit 13. Farebox revenue remains heavily depressed since the onset of COVID-19. The FY 2022 Budget in Brief specifies that the pandemic caused NJ Transit train ridership to decline by 75 percent and bus ridership by 50 percent. • Questions: By mode, when are ridership and farebox revenue expected to fully recover from COVID-19? What is the projected revenue gap in FY 2022 and beyond that is attributable to COVID-19? Response: Annual farebox revenue is not expected to return to pre-pandemic norms of nearly $1,000m until at least after 2025, if not later. The projected farebox revenue gap during FY20-FY25 from the FY21 Budget is shown in column “vs. FY21 Budget” in the table below.
