A Freight Plan for the NYMTC Region Transportation Impacts Expanding the interstate truck network could significantly benefit the corridors that serve major freight facilities and movement, such as the Northern Crossing, Southern Crossing, Eastern (I-278 and I-678) corridors. Assigning interstate standard truck routes to key freight generators in New York City such as JFK Airport, Hunts Point Market, and the Brooklyn Waterfront could shift goods movement in high-volume corridors from many small trucks to fewer, larger, more efficient trucks. This would reduce the number of truck trips generated by these key regional facilities. Other Impacts Expanding the interstate truck network likely is to have positive environmental and economic benefits, although such expansion could face physical and institutional barriers to the extent that large truck traffic is introduced onto roadways where it currently is restricted. Given adequate roadway geometries, however, the reduction in truck trips could offset the presence of larger trucks and yield benefits to the surrounding communities. The project has potentially major benefits to regional connectivity by providing higher capacity connections to major regional freight facilities. The project does not directly involve the introduction of new technology. Responsible Organizations/Action Plan NYMTC, NYSDOT, NYCDOT, and PANYNJ – Initiate a regional feasibility study through NYMTC’s Unified Work Program (UPWP). 5.1.2 Strategy 1.B – Improve the Management of Commercial Vehicle Loading and Unloading Zones Action 1 – Expand NYCDOT’s Commercial Vehicle Parking Program Description A pilot commercial vehicle parking program has been implemented by the NYCDOT for Midtown Manhattan to help alleviate traffic congestion caused by double-parked commercial vehicles and vehicles using loading zones as long-term parking spaces. As shown in Figure 5.2, the program originally covered selected streets between 43 rd and 59 th , and between Fifth and Seventh Avenues, and has since been expanded to provide coverage from Second to Ninth Avenues. Single-space parking meters were removed and replaced with ticket-dispensing muni-meters to provide a commercial vehicle loading zone during the busiest hours of the day. Between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, the curb spaces are designated for commercial vehicle use only, with parking rates of $2.00, $5.00, and 9.00 for one, two, and three hours, respectively. In addition, evening and weekend parking rates have been increased from $1.00 to $2.00 per hour in this designated area. Payment can be made by using either quarters, dollar coins, or the NYC Parking Card – a pre-paid debit card. Cambridge Systematics, Inc. 5-11
