INTRODUCTION

The 2011 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), and the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act – A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). 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 2011 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 1993-2010. The statistical analysis presented in the report was performed by staff of NYCDOT during the 2011–2012 and 2012–2013 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.

NEW YORK CITY SCREENLINE

In 1963, when the first comprehensive New York City border screenline data were collected, average daily two‐way volume at the 29 locations studied was 1,109,200.

• Queens ‐ Nassau screenline: 546,500 daily vehicles, 49.3% of total monitored New York City border screenlines volume.

• Bronx – Westchester screenline: 269,700 daily vehicles, 24.3%.

• Manhattan ‐ New Jersey screenline: 265,600 daily vehicles, 23.9%.

• Staten Island – New Jersey screenline: 27,400 daily vehicles, 2.5%.

• Volumes on Van Cortlandt Park East in The Bronx, and Central Avenue and Seagirt Boulevard in Queens, were not collected prior to 1986.

1963 ‐ 1973

Traffic volume recorded at the City borders rose 36.2%, to an average of 1,510,600 vehicles per day in 1973 from 1,109,200 in 1963 (401,400 additional daily vehicles).

• Increases exceeded 20% at all City border screenlines.

New York – New Jersey Screenline

George Washington Bridge

103

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.


Growth slowed considerably between 1973 and 1982, with daily Manhattan ‐ New Jersey volume increasing by just 36,500 vehicles (+9.2%) to 433,700.

• George Washington Bridge traffic increased 7.1%, to 249,300 daily vehicles in 1982 from 232,700 in 1973.

• Holland Tunnel traffic increased 14.3%, to 74,000 daily vehicles from 64,700.



Faster growth resumed between 1982 and 1986, as daily Manhattan ‐ New Jersey traffic reached 485,800, up 12.0% over the four‐year period.

• George Washington Bridge traffic increased 14.9%, to 286,400 daily vehicles in 1986 from 249,300 in 1982.



105


From 1986 to 1993, Manhattan ‐ New Jersey traffic decreased 2.6%, to 473,100 daily vehicles from 485,800.

• George Washington Bridge traffic decreased 9.0%, to 260,700 daily vehicles in 1993 from 286,400 in 1986.

• Lincoln Tunnel traffic decreased 2.0%, to 119,700 daily vehicles from 122,100.

• The only increase was at the Holland Tunnel, where traffic increased 19.9%, to 92,700 daily vehicles from 77,300.


Manhattan ‐ New Jersey traffic decreased an additional 3.0%, to 458,900 daily vehicles in 2001 from 473,100 in 1993.

• Following the events of 9/11/2001, Holland Tunnel traffic fell 53.2%, to 43,400 daily vehicles in fall 2001 compared to 92,700 in fall 1993.

• Lincoln Tunnel traffic decreased 11.2%, to 106,200 daily vehicles from 119,700.

• The only increase was at the George Washington Bridge, where traffic increased 18.6%, to 309,300 daily vehicles from 260,700.


During the most recent ten‐year period, Manhattan – New Jersey traffic increased 7.0%, to 491,100 daily vehicles in 2011 from 458,900 in 2001.

• Holland Tunnel traffic more than doubled, to 93,600 daily vehicles in fall 2011 from 43,400 in fall 2001. This amounts to a full recovery of Holland Tunnel traffic volume from the depressed levels which had resulted from the events of 9/11/2001.


• Conversely, George Washington Bridge traffic decreased 9.5%, to 279,900 daily vehicles from 309,300.


During the 48 years from 1963 to 2011, traffic between Manhattan and New Jersey increased 84.9%, to 491,100 daily vehicles from 265,600.

• George Washington Bridge traffic climbed 119.6%, to 279,900 daily vehicles from 127,500.



106

Staten Island – New Jersey

In 1963, Staten Island‐New Jersey screenline traffic was only 27,400 vehicles per day. The highest volume was on the Goethals Bridge, 12,500 vehicles per day.

1963 – 1973 Staten Island – New Jersey

By 1973, motor travel between Staten Island and New Jersey had nearly tripled, to 81,000 daily vehicles in 1973 from 27,400 in 1963.

• Growth was spurred by the opening of the Verrazano‐Narrows Bridge between Brooklyn and Staten Island in 1964.

• Much of the new traffic was simply passing through Staten Island.

• Goethals Bridge traffic jumped 356%, to 56,800 daily vehicles in 1973 from 12,500 in 1963.

• Outerbridge Crossing traffic increased 64.8%, to 11,700 daily vehicles from 7,100.

• Bayonne Bridge traffic increased 59.6%, to 12,500 daily vehicles from 7,800.


Growth slowed between 1973 and 1982. Nevertheless, Staten Island ‐ New Jersey traffic volume rose to 106,600 daily vehicles, an increase of 31.6% during the nine‐year period, the highest rate of any City border screenline.

• Growth was concentrated at the Outerbridge Crossing, where volume nearly quadrupled, to 44,700 daily vehicles in 1982 from 11,700 in 1973. Completion of the West Shore Expressway provided a continuous limited access route between the Outerbridge Crossing and the Verrazano‐Narrows Bridge.


• On the other hand, volume on the Goethals Bridge decreased 15.0%, to 48,300 daily vehicles from 56,800.


Renewed growth between 1982 and 1986 boosted daily Staten Island ‐ New Jersey traffic volume to 138,400 daily vehicles, an increase of 29.8% in just four years.

• Growth was fairly evenly distributed among the three facilities.
