PROBLEM ADDRESSED/RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

Underground Pneumatic Transport of Municipal Solid Waste and Recyclables Using New York City Subway Infrastructure

While Manhattan’s streets may be the most congested—and carbon-emitting—in the country, the subway system that runs beneath them offers an inspiring example of how efficiently—and with what minimal emissions of greenhouse gases—passengers can be transported. Although the collection and transport of municipal solid wastes produces only a fraction of the congestion and emissions on Manhattan’s surface, in absolute terms the hundreds of thousands of annual truck miles these wastes cause are nonetheless quite significant.  MORE about Underground Pneumatic Transport of Municipal Solid Waste and Recyclables Using New York City Subway Infrastructure

Project Description

Rethinking Residential Parking Policies in New York City based on Behavioral Responses from Developers and Residents

Research of urban parking policies has tended to center on the impact of policy interventions in central business districts and commercial areas, overlooking parking policies that affect a resident’s home, where most journeys begin. In particular, research has overlooked the relationships between residential parking policies, development and travel behavior. This research proposes to study the impact of residential parking policies, and explores developer behavior with respect to parking requirements and residence-based auto ownership and travel behavior in New York City.  MORE about Rethinking Residential Parking Policies in New York City based on Behavioral Responses from Developers and Residents

Decision-Making on Transportation Mega-projects: An Interpretative Analysis

Over the last several decades population and economic growth in urban areas has intensified the need for more efficient transportation, including the expansion of existing transportation networks, or the construction of new transit projects. In either case, these infrastructure investments require careful prioritization and selection among available alternatives, and are subject to budgetary and other resource constraints.  MORE about Decision-Making on Transportation Mega-projects: An Interpretative Analysis

Effects of New Jersey’s Cell Phone and Text Ban

With the amount of wireless communication technology available today, its use while driving has become a significant issue around the country as it relates to crashes, injuries and deaths on the nation’s roadways. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported over 6000 deaths and over 500,000 injuries in 2008 attributed to distracted driving1.  MORE about Effects of New Jersey’s Cell Phone and Text Ban
