NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document
ENHANCING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND SAFETY New York's transportation infrastructure programs present a readily available opportunity to stimulate the economy, create good paying jobs and spur development. The State's transportation agencies, such as the Department of Transportation, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the Thruway Authority are positioned to begin additional projects quickly, thus maximizing the use of Federal assistance by immediately cycling this funding through the economy. The Federal Highway Administration has indicated that each $1 billion of transportation investment creates 42,000 jobs. These projects will also provide added long-term benefits by improving access for businesses and industrial facilities. Major transportation projects have, historically, laid the foundation for expanding residential and commercial development and the growth of jobs.
Any Federal economic stimulus package should include a sizable investment in transportation infrastructure and should be balanced so that urban, suburban and rural areas can all benefit in the ways that make the most sense locally. A portion of the program should target mass transportation, with funds for the transit and commuter systems that are essential to transport our workforce and connect our communities. Recognizing the important role that the intercity rail system played in keeping our economy moving while the airline network was shut down, funds should be included to improve and expand rail service. In addition, resources should be provided for highway projects that will ensure that our roads and bridges are ready to serve a recovering economy.
New York would use its share of the new Federal funding to advance projects that will fuel a new economic vitality, create jobs, and build quality communities. Specifically, this could include the following initiatives:
Transit Program > Accelerate the MIA 2000-2004 capital program, including track improvements, station rehabilitations, rolling stock acquisition, signal modernization and safety enhancements.
> Fund a new multimodal Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) terminal to improve commuter access to lower Manhattan.
➢ Fund completion of the final design and ready-to-go construction phases of the East Side Access project that will link the Long Island Rail Road to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, and free up capacity in the existing Penn Station for Amtrak or other commuter services.
> Accelerate preliminary engineering for the Second Avenue Subway that will relieve severe subway congestion on Manhattan's East Side and improve access to lower Manhattan.
