  • Eliminating Barriers to Transit-Oriented Development
    See conclusions: 33% Reduction Pages 52 and 53 FHWA-NJ-2010-002 Eliminating Barriers to Transit-Oriented Development FINAL REPORT March 2010 Submitted by Daniel G. Chatman, Ph.D. Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center Rutgers University Stephanie E. DiPetrillo Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center Rutgers University NJDOT Research Project Manager Vincent F. Nichnadowicz In cooperation with New Jersey Department of Transportation Bureau of Research and U. S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (professionals and craftsmen are more likely to commute by auto, accountants less likely). Adding those household factors does not affect the calculated effect of new housing near transit very much. Auto ownership Households livinggg in new housing near transit have about 30 percent fewer autos than those in new housing farther away. But when controlling for other factors we find that variance in housing type, tenure, and area of the state accounts for most of the differences. This result does not changeg materiallyyq for the quarter mile radius versus the half mile radius. Apartments/condomApartments/condominiumsiniums (multiplier of 0.68) and townhouses/rowhouses (multiplier of 0.77) have much lower auto ownership, as do any rented units regardless of housing type (multiplier of 0.78). Rail station proximity is not significant on its own. Almost 90 percent of new housing near transit stops is apartments or condominiums, and almost 50 percent is rented. These shares are much lower for new housing farther away (about 40 percent and 14 percent respectively). Auto ownership and parking problems associated with new housing near transit will be much lower for high-density development and rented units.

  • 2005, January League Newsletter
    LEAGUE NEWS The Newsletter of the League of Historical Societies of New Jer- Atlantic County to LEAGUE RECOGNIZED BY NEW JERSEY HISTORICAL COMMISSION Host League Meeting on At the New Jersey Historical Commission’s Annual Conference on November March 12th 20th, the League of Historical Societies of New Jersey was recognized for its role in promoting the history of New Jersey. The text of the commission’s citation *************************** appears below: Article and registration form “The League of Historical Societies is honored for its important role in promoting interest in the history of New Jersey. The League was founded in on page 11. 1967, following the New Jersey Tercentenary and the Civil War Centennial. These two events spurred general interest in the state's past. A number of local and statewide historical groups were established in this period, and in 1965, these groups met to discuss how the state's numerous local societies might come together for the regular exchange of information and ideas and for cooperative action in pursuit of their mutual interests. Since that period, the League has steadily built a statewide organization of organizations to fulfill its mission. “It now numbers some 300 member societies representing over 65,000 individual members. It is by far the largest grass roots organization devoted to New Jersey history, and it has played a role of crucial importance in public activities to protect state historical programs. “To fulfill its mission, the League relies solely on the volunteer efforts of its governing board and other members; it has no headquarters or other operating resources; its only source of funds is nominal membership dues which provide an annual budget of about $5,000.

  • Rail Expansion Project Sheet | Third Track Between Waldwick and Suffern
    Appendix B Capital Plan Project Sheets Rail Expansion Project Sheet | Third Track Between Waldwick and Suffern Description The NJ TRANSIT Main Line services an average of 31,450 passengers per Existing: Track Configuration day between Suffern, NY and Hoboken Terminal, and is one of the most heavily used NJ TRANSIT rail lines. Working east to west from Hoboken, the two-track Main Line and two-track Bergen County Line merge into three tracks at Ridgewood Junction. The line then operates on three tracks from Ridgewood to Waldwick but reduces to two tracks from Waldwick to Suffern. This two track section west of Waldwick limits the Main Line’s capacity and prevents express trains from passing through occupied stations. If funded, this project would continue the third track (Track 3) west from Waldwick to Suffern to provide additional capacity along the Main Line. Extension of Track 3 would require widening of multiple existing bridges, increased vertical clearance for the bridge over Route 202, the closing of various grade crossings, and the construction of new bridges over four existing highways. Additionally, all five existing stations along the limits of the proposed third track would require modifications, which include new, accessible high-level platforms and pedestrian tunnels to accommodate the additional track. The existing interlocking at Suffern and Waldwick would also be upgraded to allow trains to efficiently switch between the three tracks. Ultimately, this project would provide the capacity enhancement necessary to keep pace with ridership growth and provide a more reliable experience for Main Line and Bergen County Line customers. This work would be coordinated with the proposed WC Interlocking project, which will extend Track 3 into Waldwick Yard.
