Public Transportation 3.1 Public Transportation 3.1 Public Transportation A. INTRODUCTION This section describes the characteristics of the existing trans-Hudson public transportation system and summarizes changes in the trans-Hudson public transportation system under the 2030 No Build and 2030 Build Alternatives. Service levels and ridership are presented for the following modes: NJ TRANSIT commuter rail, Amtrak, bus, ferry, and PATH. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS The New York/New Jersey metropolitan region is afforded a variety of public transportation services crossing the Hudson River into midtown Manhattan, including NJ TRANSIT commuter rail, Amtrak, NJ TRANSIT and private express bus, ferry and Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH), as shown in Table 3.1-1. TABLE 3.1-1: EXISTING TRANS-HUDSON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES Public Transportation Mode/Facility Service Description NJ TRANSIT Main/Bergen/Port Jervis Runs from Suffern, NY to Hoboken, NJ. Main Line operates via Paterson, NJ. Bergen County Line operates via Fair Lawn, NJ. The two lines meet at Ridgewood, NJ. Service provided seven days per week. NJ TRANSIT runs service under contract with Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Metro-North Railroad from Port Jervis, NY to Hoboken, NJ. Each line has connections to Penn Station New York (PSNY) available at Frank R. Lautenberg Station. NJ TRANSIT Pascack Valley Line Runs between Spring Valley, NY and Hoboken, NJ. NJ TRANSIT serves three MTA Metro-North Railroad stations in NY. Connections to PSNY available at Frank R. Lautenberg Station. NJ TRANSIT Montclair-Boonton Line Runs between Hackettstown, NJ and Hoboken, NJ/Manhattan via Montclair-Boonton Line. Direct service to PSNY from Montclair, Glen Ridge, and Bloomfield, NJ. Riders boarding at Great Notch and points west for travel to PSNY change trains at Montclair State University (MSU) Station, NJ. NJ TRANSIT Morris/Essex/Gladstone Provides service to Hoboken, NJ and PSNY. The Morristown Line (Hackettstown to Hoboken/Manhattan via Morristown) and the Gladstone Branch (Gladstone to Hoboken/Manhattan) are separate lines. Service provided seven days per week on the Morristown Line from Dover and east, and on the Gladstone Branch. Service west of Dover, NJ operated on weekdays only. Direct service to PSNY provided only from Dover, NJ and east including the Gladstone Branch. Connections to PSNY at Summit, Dover, and Newark Broad Street, NJ for stations with limited or no direct PSNY service. 3.1-1 Access to the Region’s Core FEIS TABLE 3.1-1: EXISTING TRANS-HUDSON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES (CONTINUED) Public Transportation Mode/Facility Service Description NJ TRANSIT Raritan Valley Line Operates from High Bridge to Newark Penn Station, NJ weekdays. Service operates weekends only from Raritan to both Newark Penn Station and Hoboken, NJ. Connections to PSNY available at Newark, NJ. NJ TRANSIT North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL) Operates between Long Branch, NJ and PSNY. Some trains operate between Bay Head and Hoboken, NJ. Service provided seven days per week. Connections to PSNY available at Long Branch and Newark Penn Station for riders south of Long Branch to Bay Head, NJ NJ TRANSIT Northeast Corridor (NEC) Runs between Trenton, NJ and PSNY. A branch line connects Princeton with Princeton Junction, NJ. Service provided seven days per week. Amtrak Northeast Corridor Operates daily intercity rail service into PSNY. Operates Acela Express and Regional service as well as Keystone service from Philadelphia, PA to PSNY and long distance service to the South and Midwest. Amtrak Empire Connection This northern approach to PSNY was placed in service on April 15, 1991, when Amtrak rerouted Albany and Buffalo trains from Grand Central Terminal (GCT) to PSNY. Only Amtrak trains travel the northern approach to and from PSNY, which uses a single-track tunnel under the West Side Yard to access the station. Penn Station New York (PSNY) A transportation hub embedded within the street- and underground levels of Madison Square Garden, spanning West 33rd to West 31st Streets and Seventh to Eighth Avenues in New York City. Built by the Pennsylvania Railroad, it is used by a number of passenger rail services, including Amtrak, MTA Long Island Rail Road, MTA New York City Transit and NJ TRANSIT. PSNY serves more than 350,000 arriving and departing rail passengers, with over 1,000 train trips on an average day. Exclusive Bus Lane (XBL) Dedicated contra-flow bus lane that operates weekday mornings between 6:15 AM and approximately 10:00 AM, as part of a network of transportation facilities that includes the New Jersey Turnpike, the Lincoln Tunnel and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in midtown Manhattan. Local Bus Lane (LBL) Provides expedited access to the Lincoln Tunnel each weekday from local streets in communities near the Lincoln Tunnel in Hudson County. The LBL, unlike the XBL, is a pavement-marked, same- direction bus lane. Port Authority Bus Terminal (PABT) Main gateway for interstate buses into Manhattan, located in midtown Manhattan, one block west of Times Square, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues and West 40th and West 42nd streets. Serves both daily commuter bus routes (majority operated by NJ TRANSIT) and intercity buses, such as Greyhound. Direct underground passageways connect with New York Subway lines A C E N Q R S W 1 2 3 and 7. George Washington Bus Terminal Commuter bus terminal located at the Manhattan end of the George Washington Bridge in Washington Heights. The terminal connects with the A train at the 175th Street subway station 3.1-2 3.1: Public Transportation TABLE 3.1-1: EXISTING TRANS-HUDSON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES (CONTINUED) Public Transportation Mode/Facility Service Description Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) This rapid transit system has two branches connecting midtown (33rd Street) and lower Manhattan with Hoboken, Jersey City and Newark, NJ. PATH’s branch to lower Manhattan was out of service for over two years following the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Currently, PATH operates service between New Jersey and a temporary WTC Terminal. A permanent terminal would be built as part of the redevelopment of the WTC site. Ferry A privately owned company, operating commuter ferry service from west of the Hudson to midtown Manhattan. Scheduled ferry routes operate between Pier 78 at West 38th Street, and six New Jersey ports. Other private ferry operators and ferry services operate to lower Manhattan only. Source: NJ TRANSIT, 2006 PASSENGER RAIL SERVICE Passenger rail service (which includes both commuter and intercity rail) into midtown Manhattan operates on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (NEC). The NEC serves midtown Manhattan through the trans-Hudson North River Tunnels. Only electric-powered trains are permitted to operate through these tunnels into PSNY. Only four of NJ TRANSIT northern area services—NEC, North Jersey Coast Line, Morris & Essex Lines and Montclair-Boonton Line—are equipped to provide direct, one-seat rides into PSNY. The remaining NJ TRANSIT commuter rail lines utilize diesel equipment. Passengers riding diesel-only service must transfer to electric NEC service at Newark Broad Street Station, Newark Penn Station or Frank R. Lautenberg Station. Current Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT rail service to PSNY, Newark Penn Station and Hoboken is shown in Table 3.1-2. In the AM peak hour (7:30AM – 8:30 AM), three Amtrak trains and 20 NJ TRANSIT trains serve PSNY, for a total of 23 trains per hour (TPH). The NJ TRANSIT rail network is depicted on Figure 3.1-1. TABLE 3.1-2: EXISTING AMTRAK AND NJ TRANSIT PEAK HOUR SERVICE 2006 Existing AM Peak Hour Service (Trains/Hour) to Newark Penn Line PSNY Station Hoboken TOTAL Amtrak Northeast Corridor 3 3 NJ TRANSIT Northeast Corridor 10 10 North Jersey Coast Line 4 1 5 Gladstone Branch 1 2 3 Dover/Summit 4 3 7 Montclair-Boonton 1 4 5 Raritan Valley 6 6 Pascack Valley 4 4 Main/Bergen 7 7 Port Jervis 3 3 TOTAL 23 6 24 53 Source: NJ TRANSIT, January 2007 3.1-3 Access to the Region’s Core Final Environmental Impact Statement Figure 3.1-1 Existing NJ TRANSIT Rail Network Source: NJ TRANSIT, 2008 Not to Scale 3.1: Public Transportation The NEC, which extends from Washington, DC to Boston, is the most-heavily traveled passenger rail corridor in the United States (“A Recommended Approach to Funding the Estimated Capital Investment Needs of the Northeast Corridor Rail Infrastructure,” BGL Rail Associates prepared for the Amtrak Reform Council, April 2002). Morning operations on the NEC are characterized by the following peak conditions: • AM Peak Hour (7:30 AM to 8:30 AM) is the hour with the highest train frequency and passenger demand for arrivals into New York. Twenty-three eastbound revenue trains (20 NJ TRANSIT and 3 Amtrak) operate into PSNY in the AM Peak Hour. • AM Peak Two Hours (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM) is the highest two-hour train frequency and passenger demand for arrivals into New York. Forty-four eastbound revenue trains (40 NJ TRANSIT and 4 Amtrak) operate into PSNY in the AM Peak Two Hours. Approximately 73 percent of NJ TRANSIT’s current total AM peak period peak ridership is accounted for in that two-hour timeframe. • AM Peak Period (6:00 AM to 10:00 AM) includes the two AM peak hours, plus two one-hour “shoulders,” one before and one after the two AM peak hours. Seventy-five eastbound revenue trains (65 NJ TRANSIT and 10 Amtrak) operate into PSNY in the AM Peak Period. Some passengers travel outside of the peak two hours because the level of service at that time is constrained by available capacity and demand. The morning commutation period was analyzed because it reflects the relatively compressed starting times of most jobs in midtown Manhattan.

  • 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.

  • Regional Transit Projects Project Sheet | Portal Bridge Replacement (Portal North)
    Appendix B Capital Plan Project Sheets Regional Transit Projects Project Sheet | Portal Bridge Replacement (Portal North) Description The existing Portal Bridge is a ±960-foot long structure which carries the Existing: Portal Bridge Northeast Corridor (NEC) over the Hackensack River between Newark Penn Station and Secaucus Junction. The existing movable, swing span bridge was constructed in 1910, is 110-years old, and has exceeded its originally intended service life. Due to its age and frequency of use, the movable bridge is costly and difficult to maintain and experiences frequent breakdowns. The two-track bridge creates a bottleneck between the four-track territories to the east and west and requires train speed reductions of 30% which contributes to a decrease in rail service reliability. Given its low vertical clearance to the river, frequent bridge openings are required to accommodate marine traffic. Also, mechanical component malfunctions often cause the bridge to be open for extended periods of time, resulting in frequent, lengthy delays of rail service on the NEC. Additionally, the existing bridge does not have enough capacity to accommodate anticipated future demand. If funded, this project would replace the existing bridge with a higher, more reliable, double track fixed bridge on a new alignment to the north of the existing bridge. The increased vertical profile would eliminate interruptions to rail service due to required bridge openings. The new north bridge would also eliminate speed restrictions, thereby improving Proposed: New Bridge rail operation and capacity across the span. A second, two-track southern bridge, Portal South, is contemplated separately as part of the overall Gateway Program, which when complete would substantially increase operational capacity along this critical length of the NEC.

  • NEC One-Year Implementation Plan: FY17 Contents
    Northeast Corridor One-Year Implementation Plan Fiscal Year 2017 September 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region. 2| NEC One-Year Implementation Plan: FY17 Contents Introduction 6 Funding Summary 8 Baseline Capital Charge Program 10 1 - Boston South Station 12 16 - Shore to Girard 42 2 - Boston to Providence 14 17 - Girard to Philadelphia 30th Street 44 3 - Providence to Wickford Junction 16 18 - Philadelphia 30th Street - Arsenal 46 4 - Wickford Junction to New London 18 19 - Arsenal to Marcus Hook 48 5 - New London to New Haven 20 20 - Marcus Hook to Bacon 50 6 - New Haven to State Line 22 21 - Bacon to Perryville 52 7 - State Line to New Rochelle 24 22 - Perryville to WAS 54 8 - New Rochelle to Harold Interlocking 26 23 - Washington Union Terminal 56 9 - Harold Interlocking to F Interlocking 28 24 - WAS to CP Virginia 58 10 - F Interlocking to PSNY 30 25 - Springfield to New Haven 60 11 - Penn Terminal 32 27 - Spuyten Duyvil to PSNY* 62 12 - PSNY to Trenton 34 28 - 30th St.
