INTRODUCTION

The 2012 New York City Screenline Traffic Flow report is an annual publication prepared by the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT), and funded by the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) under the Planning Program of the Moving Ahead for Progress (MAP-21) Act.

The report presents vehicular volumes and historical comparisons across the Bronx–Westchester, Queens–Nassau, Manhattan–New Jersey, Staten Island–New Jersey, and Brooklyn–Queens screenlines.

The average hourly volumes by direction for 2012 are presented in tabular form and in histograms for each monitored roadway facility. Historical comparisons are based on screenline data collected in 1963, 1973, 1982, 1986, and 1993-2011. The statistical analysis presented in the report was performed by staff of NYCDOT during the 2012–2013 and 2013–2014 program years.

Each of the 47 screenline monitoring locations has been classified under a highway functional classification system. Functional classification is the method by which streets and highways are grouped into classes, or systems, according to the character of service each roadway provides.

The five functional classifications are defined as follows:

1. Interstate - connects population centers across state lines.

2. Principal Arterial - serves major centers of activity of an urban area and carries a high proportion of the total urban area travel on a minimum of mileage.

3. Minor Arterial - interconnects with and augments urban principal arterials; provides service for trips of moderate length at a somewhat lower level of travel mobility than principal arterials; distributes travel to geographic areas smaller than those identified with the higher system.

4. Collector Street - provides both land access service and traffic circulation within residential neighborhoods, and commercial and industrial areas. Differs from the arterial systems in that facilities on the collector system may penetrate residential neighborhoods, distributing trips from arterials to the ultimate destination. Conversely, collector streets also collect traffic from local streets in residential neighborhoods and channel it into the arterial system.

5. Local Street - comprises all facilities not on one of the higher systems. Serves primarily to provide direct access to abutting land and access to the higher order systems. Offers the lowest level of mobility and usually contains no bus or truck route.

Note: NYCDOT uses the averages of vehicular volumes from selected representative weekdays. Publications from other sources may be based on alternative computation methodologies for some facilities, notably the tolled bridges and tunnels, possibly yielding different results for those facilities.

1993 ‐ 2002

From 1993 to 2002, monitored traffic at the New York City boundaries increased 13.1%, to 2,275,900 daily vehicles in 2002 from 2,012,400 in 1993.

• Bronx – Westchester traffic increased 22.5%, to 619,900 daily vehicles in 2002 from 506,200 in 1993.

• Queens ‐ Nassau traffic increased 5.8%, to 944,000 daily vehicles 2002 from 892,300 in 1993.

• Staten Island – New Jersey daily volume increased 27.3%, to 179,100 from 140,800.

• Manhattan ‐ New Jersey daily volume increased 12.6%, to 532,800 from 473,100.

2002 ‐ 2012

During the most recent ten‐year period, from 2002 to 2012, monitored traffic at the New York City boundaries decreased by 2.7%, to 2,215,100 daily vehicles in 2012 from 2,275,900 in 2002.

• Bronx – Westchester traffic decreased 2.5%, to 604,600 daily vehicles in 2012 from 619,900 in 2002.

36

• Manhattan ‐ New Jersey traffic decreased 9.4%, to 482,600 daily vehicles from

532,800.

• Staten Island ‐ New Jersey traffic decreased 8.6%, to 163,700 daily vehicles from 179,100.

• Conversely, Queens ‐ Nassau traffic increased 2.1%, to 964,200 daily vehicles in 2012 from 944,000 in 2002.

1963 ‐ 2012

From 1963 to 2012, daily two–way traffic at the 29 City border locations monitored throughout the period nearly doubled, to 2,170,100 in 2012 from 1,109,200 in 1963.

• Staten Island – New Jersey traffic skyrocketed by 498%, to 163,700 daily vehicles in 2012 from 27,400 in 1963, largely as a result of the opening of the Verrazano–Narrows Bridge in 1964.

• Manhattan – New Jersey traffic increased 82%, to 482,600 daily vehicles in 2012 from 265,600 in 1963, fostered in part by the opening of the George Washington Bridge's lower level in 1962 and the Alexander Hamilton Bridge/Trans‐Manhattan Expressway route in 1963 which facilitated travel between Bronx/Queens/Long Island/New England and New Jersey via upper Manhattan. From 1962 to 1966, George Washington Bridge traffic increased 50.6% to 167,300 daily vehicles from 111,100.

• During the 49‐year period from 1963 to 2012, continuously monitored daily traffic increased 121% between The Bronx and Westchester (to 594,900 from 269,700), and 70% between Queens and Nassau (to 929,000 from 546,500).

NEW YORK ‐ NEW JERSEY SCREENLINE

Manhattan – New Jersey

In 1963, daily traffic between Manhattan and New Jersey averaged 265,600 vehicles.

• The George Washington Bridge was the most heavily‐traveled crossing, serving 127,500 vehicles per day (48.0% of the total).

• The Holland Tunnel accommodated 58,800 daily vehicles.

• The Lincoln Tunnel was used by 79,300 daily vehicles.

1963 – 1973 Manhattan – New Jersey

Between 1963 and 1973, Manhattan ‐ New Jersey traffic volume grew to 397,200 vehicles per day, an increase of 49.5% (131,600 additional daily vehicles).

• George Washington Bridge traffic increased 82.6% (to 232,700 daily vehicles in 1973 from 127,500 in 1963), partly as a result of the opening of the lower level, and the Alexander Hamilton Bridge/Trans‐Manhattan Expressway route, which facilitated travel between Bronx/Queens/Long Island/New England and New Jersey via upper Manhattan.

• That increase of 105,200 daily vehicles using the George Washington Bridge accounted for 80.0% of the total 1963‐1973 growth in Manhattan ‐ New Jersey screenline traffic.

• Lincoln Tunnel traffic increased 25.8%, to 99,800 daily vehicles from 79,300.

• Holland Tunnel traffic increased 10.1%, to 64,700 vehicles per day from 58,800.
