Tioga NEW YORK CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (EDC), RAIL MANAGEMENT (2006) Since 1998 The Tioga Group, Inc. has completed several consulting assignments for EDC, manager of New York City’s rail properties. Tioga’s most significant effort was supporting the reactivation of the New York City-owned Staten Island Rail Road (SIRR). Freight rail service on the SIRR ended in 1991 and the City purchased the railroad in 1994. The right-of-way was preserved and the Arthur Kill Lift Bridge, which connects the borough of Staten Island to New Jersey, was mothballed. Its main lift span of 559 feet makes the Arthur Kill bridge the world’s longest vertical lift bridge. Arthur Kill Lift Bridge, April 2007 EDC was the lead agency for the reactivation project and Tioga’s assignments included (1) the market analysis and forecast of the anticipated traffic volume, (2) a preliminary estimate of rail operating cost and economic feasibility, and (3) ongoing negotiation support for the several complex transactions covering both operations and investment. The stake holders in these transactions included rail carriers Conrail, CSX and Norfolk Southern along with anchor customers New York Container Terminal (NYCT) and New York City Department of Sanitation. More than a quarter of a billion dollars in direct investments were made by the parties. Projects included the renovation of mothballed rail facilities and the development of container transfer facilities to serve the Department of Sanitation and NYCT, Staten Island’s largest employer. The SIRR reopened for business April 2, 2007. Its first year was quite successful with business levels exceeding Tioga’s forecast.

Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

Guided by science, we work to create practical solutions that win lasting political, economic and social support because they are nonpartisan, cost-effective and fair. The East of Hudson Rail Freight Operations Task Force is committed to the restoration of price- and service-competitive freight rail service in the areas of the New York metropolitan region east of the Hudson River. The Task Force seeks to accomplish this objective through bringing together elected officials, carriers and public agencies at regularly scheduled meetings where any issue that hinders or can assist in the restoration of competitive rail service is discussed openly. It is expected that all participants will work toward the common goal of restoring competitive rail freight service East of the Hudson. ©2004 Environmental Defense Printed on 100% (50% post-consumer) recycled paper, 100% chlorine free.

Chapter 6: Historic and Cultural Resources
Chapter 6: Historic and Cultural Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses the potential of the Proposed Project to affect historic and cultural resources. The Project Site, located in Staten Island’s Tottenville neighborhood, is bounded by the Outerbridge Crossing to the north, Arthur Kill Road to the east, Richmond Valley Road to the south, and the Arthur Kill waterway to the west. As described in greater detail in Chapter 1, “Projection Description,” the Proposed Project is a commercial center with the associated parking, open space, and street and infrastructure improvements. This analysis has been prepared in accordance with the 2014 New York City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual. The Proposed Project would require permits from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the New York State Department of Conservation (NYSDEC). Therefore, this analysis also has been prepared in accordance with Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act (NYSHPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Historic and cultural resources include both archaeological and architectural resources. The study area for archeological resources is the Project Site itself where disturbance from excavation and construction can be anticipated. Study areas for architectural resources are determined based on the area of potential effect for construction period impacts, as well as the larger area in which there may be visual or contextual impacts. The CEQR Technical Manual sets the guidelines for the study area as being typically within an approximately 400-foot radius of the Project Site boundary (see Figure 6-1). Within the study area, architectural resources analyzed include State and National Register (S/NR)- listed or S/NR-eligible properties, New York City Landmarks (NYCLs), New York City Historic Districts (NYCHDs), and properties pending such designation (“known architectural resources”).

Staten Island Railway Rider Report
State Senator Diane J. Savino’s 2013 Staten Island Railway Rider Report Staten Island Railway Rider Report State Senator Diane J. Savino’s 2013 Introduction Since taking office in January of 2005, Senator Savino has often received suggestions and complaints regarding the Staten Island Railway service commonly known on Staten Island as the Staten Island Rapid Transit or SIRT. Since Senator Savino’s Staten Island District Office is located directly across the street from the St. George Terminal, several staff members take the railway daily, as do constituents who come to see her for meetings or her staff to access services. Key areas of complaints, include, the condition of the waiting rooms and platforms, lack of amenities, weather protection and security, as well as other quality of life concerns. Senator Savino normally addresses each concern on a case by case basis. However, in 2009 the Senator desired a more pro-active and comprehensive approach to transit complaints. In June of 2009, Senator Savino’s office reached out to ferry riders to ask them questions regarding quality of life issues on the boats and in the terminals via survey cards. The response was overwhelming; over 1000 survey cards were filled out by daily Island ferry commuters. In 2010, the Senator’s office surveyed express bus riders in Staten Island and South Brooklyn and again recommend an overwhelming response. Then in 2011, the Senator’s office conducted the survey by creating a “mobile district office” in the St. George/Staten Island Terminal, where we surveyed commuters. “Senator Savino’s Mobile District Office” took place from June 29th through July 1st, 2011.
