Sarah M. Kaufman, the executive director of the Rudin Center for Transportation at N.Y.U., said that other cities with congestion pricing programs have usually experienced resistance from the public during its first six months in operation, but eventually support grows. Mr. Samuelsen said the fees, credits and exemptions being considered by the authority do not do enough to help drivers who cannot use transit or who cannot afford added costs. should drastically improve service before the launch of the congestion pricing program in order to encourage more people to ride subways and buses. has stubbornly and moronically stuck to its position that the status quo is adequate,” Mr. Samuelsen wrote in a statement. “As a result, we have a congestion pricing plan that is all stick and no carrot.”Congestion pricing could also drive up the authority’s debt.

☆ Why NYC’s subway is struggling
  + stars: | 2023-09-21 | by ( Shawn Baldwin | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Hybrid work has meant fewer riders on New York City's subway and a drop in fare revenue for the system's operator, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The number of paying weekday subway riders averaged 3.6 million in June, according to the MTA, compared with daily ridership of almost 5.5 million in 2019. Inflation and transit crime have also impacted subway ridership. The MTA is the operator of New York's more than 6,400 subway cars, more than 5,700 buses, two of the country's busiest commuter trains, and multiple bridges and tunnels. So when will New York City subway riders return in greater numbers?

☆ Should public buses be free?
  + stars: | 2023-07-08 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +10 min
New York CNN —More major cities in the United States are letting public transit riders hop on board for free. Boston is piloting three zero-fare public bus routes, and New York City is expected to test free buses on five lines. Fares made up, on average, 12.5% of transit agencies’ operating expenses in 2021, down from 31.4% in 2019, according to the American Public Transit Association. “By offering free public transport, we are not really attracting car drivers in large volumes,” said Mohamed Mezghani, secretary general of the International Association of Public Transport. “There’s no such thing as free transit,” he added.

☆ Inside the furious debate over New York City's new tax on drivers, which New Jersey Democrats are fighting against tooth and nail

Long gone are the days of eerily deserted Manhattan streets as New York City ground to a near-halt during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cars fill Midtown amid the coronavirus pandemic on March 19, 2021 in New York City. The Empire State Building and Tourist District are seen while Traffic jam is reported along the route to New York City on August 17, 2022, in Jersey City, New Jersey. Komanoff said most congestion pricing advocates agree — they don't want drivers who enter lower Manhattan through the tunnels to pay the full congestion toll. But congestion pricing still has a long way to go, particularly as long as New Jersey leaders stand in the way.

☆ Buffalo’s Blizzard Response Had Numerous Failures, Researchers Find
  + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( Hurubie Meko | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Emergency warnings from city officials did not adequately convey how life-threatening the storm would be, the report said. City officials didn’t spread the word about the county’s travel ban for cars quickly enough and didn’t adequately stress the dangers of walking outside. And as the storm raged on, coordination between city, county and state officials became strained. The more than 100-page study by a team of researchers at New York University dissected the city’s actions before, during and after the blizzard, pinpointing failures and offering recommendations. The report was requested by the mayor, Byron Brown, in the days after the storm as residents voiced frustration at what they said was a slow and inadequate response.

☆ Why Paris is one of the few cities in the world banning rental e-scooters
  + stars: | 2023-04-09 | by ( Eliza Relman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
Transportation experts say the Paris ban doesn't necessarily mean much for the growth of micromobility. The diverging approaches to rental e-scooters by major cities around the world reflects the technology's chaotic rollout over the last few years and an inability for cities to keep up with sufficient regulations, experts say. Either way, experts say the regulatory environment in Paris and many other places just hasn't been able to keep up. Transportation experts say Paris' ban isn't necessarily reflective of how the public in that city — or any — feels about e-scooters. Despite the setback in Paris, transportation experts say electric vehicles of all sorts, from e-scooters, to e-bikes, to electric buses, are the future of transport in cities around the world.
