The fires and explosions at the WTC complex resulted in the loss or realignment of
transportation services and facilities that fall imder the jurisdiction of multiple local, state
and federal agencies. Extraordinary modifications have been made to the operation of
metropolitan New York trar»oOortation system for safety and security reasons. Many
facilities remain closed. Some have restricted access, such as the restriction on single
occupancy vehicle in Midtown and lower Manhattan on weekday mornings. Truck
access to many areas is severely restricted. Access to Manhattan south of Canal Street by
all vehicles is also severely limited. Emergency ferry service between Brooklyn and
Manhattan and between New Jersey and Manhattan has been added, using vessels
previously deployed in other regions. Most of these emergency transportation actions
affect the amount of air pollution emissions, which may be classified as “non-exempt”
projects and normally could not be implemented with a new conformity determination.
In the near future, additional security measures are likely to be imposed that will continue
to affect the operation of the transportation system throughout the New York
metropolitan area. Many of the security measures may affect air quality and would
normally be subject to conformity reviews prior to implementation.
