The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is currently working with the City of New York Department of Transportation, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, New York Metropolitan Transportation Council, and other regional entities to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and feasibility of managed use lanes as a complement to the City’s Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) program.  This project is providing key expertise to NYSDOT in the application of transit-centric (Bus Rapid Transit, Bus On Shoulders), pricing-centric (HOT lanes, Express Toll Lanes), and efficiency-centric (Active Traffic Management) managed use lanes.  Specific tasks include: identifying the state of the practice in managed use lane applications; developing a screening criteria and conducting a multi-tiered screening of affected corridors in the 5-burough New York City area; and analyzing complementary strategies and policies for integration with the City’s congestion pricing program.
