In the last 10 years, New Jersey has invested heavily in its transportation infrastructure, and numerous additional projects are planned or proposed for the next decade. Collectively, these projects have significantly improved accessibility in northern New Jersey. Highway and commuter rail travel times have dropped throughout the region as projects such as Midtown Direct and the completion of Interstate 287 connected networks and provided commuters with new travel choices.

This study identifies climate change adaptation strategies and recommends ways of mainstreaming them into planned actions, including legislation, policies, programs and projects in all areas and at all levels within the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).

Investment in transportation infrastructure is generally regarded as an effective means for inducing economic growth and employment in a region. However, the ability of such investments to achieve these objectives, to a large extent, depends on the degree to which travel results from these investments support or conflict with present travel patterns and needs in this region.

Advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) attempt to provide drivers with data intended to help them make better travel decisions. Messages may be available to all drivers (for example by radio or television broadcasts) or only to some: for example, those who pass near a particular infrastructure (such as variable message signs or VMS) or who have special receivers in their vehicles. Drivers, of course, may react to the messages in any way they choose.

<p>This study was undertaken to examine how to introduce bus rapid transit (BRT) in New York City. In recent years, the idea of bus rapid transit ? innovative bus services providing superior speed and convenience to traditional bus service ? has attracted growing interest both here and across the United States. The tremendously successful BRT systems in Bogotÿ, Colombia and Curitiba, Brazil, have stirred worldwide interest in whether BRT could be introduced elsewhere. New York, where more passengers use buses than in the next five largest U.S.

This series of projects examined travel behavior and accessibility in the Bronx. The first study in the series, "The Implications of Travel Profiles for Transportation Investment," analyzed travel conditions and choices in the Bronx, where large-scale transportation and other development projects were presently taking place. Using a large database composed of census tract information on socio-economic and travel behavior, the paper first examined the travel profile of the Bronx population, by estimating travel choice elasticities.

The economic vitality of the 'Golden Horseshoe', a
densely populated and industrialized region which
encompasses Southern Ontario, Canada and parts of New
York State including the Buffalo-Niagara Region, is
heavily dependent upon the ability to move goods freely
and efficiently across the Canadian-US border. In recent
years, and as a result of the continued increase in travel
demand across the border coupled with the need for tighter
security and inspection procedures after September 11,

<p>This document contributes to such a regional-level (freight) network planning effort by presenting a methodology whereby alternative network improvement options can be tested, evaluated, refined, and compared in an effort to identify the best long-run and shortterm strategies. The purpose is to provide a tool that metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), state departments of transportation, and other similar agencies can use for such purposes.
