Overview Document General Description This data represents the volume of freight railcars moved by New York New Jersey Rail, LLC (NYNJR), which is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PA). NYNJR moves freight rail cars across Upper New York Bay, from Greenville Yard in Jersey City, NJ to Brooklyn, NY by pushing cars onto a “carfloat” (basically, a barge with rail tracks on it), towing it across the bay, and unloading it on the other side. Volume numbers in this data set refer to loaded (or “revenue”) cars only, as is custom in the rail industry. To calculate the total number including empties, double the number of revenue cars moved. Float numbers refer to the number of round-trips across the bay made annually by the carfloat during NYNJR’s operations. NYNJR is part of the PA’s long-term effort to improve the movement of goods in the greater New York/New Jersey region by enhancing the transportation of freight across New York Harbor between the Port Jersey-Port Authority Marine Terminal and the Greenville Yard-Port Authority Marine Terminal. Over 90% of the goods consumed by the 20 million people in the region, the nation’s largest, move by truck, increasing congestion, decreasing air quality, wearing down local and regional roads, highways, and crossings, and increasing costs. The CHFP aims to mitigate these social costs, add redundancy to the freight movement system, and promote the regional economy by rehabilitating the “southern gateway” to the “East of Hudson Market” (EOH) - Long Island, the Five Boroughs, and New England. Data Collection Methodology Volume numbers are a product of railcar interchange system used to track rail cars nationally. These numbers are reconciled against internal records made at the time of each float. Statistical and Analytic Issues There are minor discrepancies between volumes tracked in the interchange system and those tracked at the time of the float, for example, because of misrouted cars. Hurricane Sandy forced NYNJR out of operation in November and December 2012, so those volume and float numbers reflect only 10 months of service. Limitations of Data Use None. .

Phasing the Recommendations – A Blueprint for the Near Future 27 Compiled Appendices Following 31 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Jersey City Local Bus Study was written in response to concerns that portions of the Jersey City local bus network were collapsing as private carriers cut back or eliminated service in its entirety. NJ TRANSIT, the City of Jersey City, the County of Hudson, and the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority funded the work effort. It was prepared by the Bus Service Planning staff at NJ TRANSIT with input from a Technical Advisory Committee composed of individuals representing the funding agencies. The focus of the study is on short-term improvements primarily in Jersey City that need to be implemented as resources such as operating funds and equipment become available. This report describes the existing bus service in Hudson County and presents short- term recommendations for changes and improvements to the local bus system, both in terms of general and systemic issues as well as specific route-by-route actions. More than three dozen action items were identified to improve existing bus operations. These items range from route-specific service adjustments to providing for more ticket and pass sales outlets either by vendors or the installation of ticket vending machines (TVMs).

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.

The innovative design of the transfer bridge was introduced by PRR engineers in 1888, and proved superior to other types in ease and speed of operation. The design was perfected and electrified with the building of the Greenville facility in 1905, and became the standard adopted by many other railroads. PROJECT INFORMATION: The Greenville Yard Transfer Bridge System was recorded in December 1996 by the Cultural Resource Group of Louis Berger & Associates, Inc., East Orange, New Jersey, for Conrail. The recordation was undertaken pursuant to Condition 1 of Permit No.

2. EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City 2.2
Jersey City Master Plan / Circulation Element 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS As part of the background work in developing this Circulation Element, a detailed assessment of the history of circulation in Jersey City and an inventory of the baseline conditions of the City’s transportation system were prepared. 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City Photo Source: Jersey City Division of City Planning Strategically located on the Hudson River and with easy access to Upper New York Bay, the City of Jersey City was an important center for shipping and maritime activity during the peak of the industrial revolution of the early nineteenth century. This status was reinforced when the Morris Canal was completed at Jersey City in 1836, giving the City shared direct linkage with the Delaware River at Phillipsburg and with important inland points, such as Newark and Paterson. Jersey City continued to serve as a transit point between Upper New York Bay and inland points to the west, but as the industrial revolution progressed, new technologies enabled the development of newer, more efficient forms of transport than canals. Consequently, railroads followed and terminals were constructed along the Hudson River waterfront and other points in the City. One example is the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, which originally opened in 1864 and is located in what is now Liberty State Park. With terminals located on the Hudson River, it was not long before ideas about a rail linkage to New York City began to evolve. This led to the construction of what is now known as the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) train, which commenced operations in 1907 after many arduous years of tunneling under the Hudson River.
