MEMORANDUM AVIATION DEPARTMENT FROM: Susan Warner-Dooley DATE: September 18, 2008 SUBJECT: 2007 ANNUAL TRAFFIC REPORT Attached is the 2007 Annual Traffic report, which provides important statistics on air traffic at our regional aviation facilities compiled by the Industry Analysis and Forecasting Unit. While the aviation industry remains a dynamic and cyclical industry, 2007 represented a year of growth on many fronts. The number of airports within the PANYNJ Airports System grew with the addition of Stewart International Airport. These airports have continued to serve the growing regional air service demand with record levels of aircraft operations and passengers for the system as a whole. JFK achieved record levels of aircraft operations and passenger traffic and added 17 additional destinations. Newark achieved record levels of international passengers and added 8 additional destinations. Daily departures and destinations also continued to grow at LGA. Stewart reached record levels in passengers.

  • Public Transit in NY, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority: Its Future and History Carrigy
    Hofstra University, Department of Global Studies & Geography, Honors Essay Public Transit in New York The Past and Future of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Michael Carrigy Fall 2010 Supervised by Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Table of Contents Introduction: Public Transportation in the United States 3 New York’s MTA and Its Subsidiaries 7 MTA’s Departmental Structure 11 The MTA’s Report Card 19 Planning for the Future 26 Appendix 30 Bibliography 51 2 Introduction: Public Transportation in the United States The Rise of the Suburb and the Decline of the Inner City From the 1950s to the 1970s, race riots, deindustrialization, the rise of consumerism, and the rise of the automobile contributed to the decline of America’s cities and the rise of the suburbs. For instance, downtown Hempstead lost its major department store and saw a decline in population and a rise in crime. Nearby in Levittown, houses were mass produced for market consumption at a time when demand for detached suburban style houses skyrocketed. The pressure for housing not only came from a housing shortage for returning veterans but from FHA policies which subsidized mortgages for new houses. The policy made it significantly cheaper in some cases to buy a new home than to either rent an apartment or refurbish an existing home. To serve these low density areas, malls, just like the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, were erected in suburban places across the country. Roosevelt Field gladly made up for Hempstead’s diminishing retailing in its downtown. Due to an increase in the number of malls, many cities saw areas just outside of their downtown decline into severe and in some cases complete abandonment.
