This report focuses on how smart and innovative street design can dramatically improve the safety of our streets. The results reported here are based on ?before and after? comparisons of crash data for projects implemented in the last seven years. This analysis is the largest examination of the safety effects of innovative roadway engineering conducted in a major American city or perhaps any city globally.
This report, published annually by DOT since 1972, presents vehicular volumes, classification, and trends for all bridge and tunnel facilities serving Manhattan.

This report summarizes vehicular volumes, classification data, and trends for the 47 bridges that cross over water, as well as the nine bridges and tunnels operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the six bridges and tunnels operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Report on the Implementation Phase of Integrative Freight Demand Management in the NYC Metro Area written by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, NYC DOT, and Rutgers University.
In 2013, DOT collected on-street parking occupancy, turnover, and vehicle registration location data around the Barclays Center during event and non-event days.
This fifth annual Sustainable Streets Index reviews traffic and transit trends in New York City, reports Manhattan traffic speeds based on taxi GPS data, and presents data-driven indicators on the impact of eleven major DOT projects involving changes in street operations.
The Soundview Transportation Study resulted from a community request to address traffic congestion and safety on the Soundview peninsula. The study recommends several measures to improve traffic operations and enhance safety, including signal timing changes, converting two-way streets to one-way, and adding turning lanes on Castle Hill Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard.
Pursuant to 19-180 (LL23/2008), DOT developes and monitors performance indicators (such as for vehicle, ferry, bicycle volume data) that will assist in assessing and reducting the amount of traffic and promoting high performance modes Citywide.
Within 180 days of receiving access to NYS DMV motor vehicle traffic crash data involving pedestrian injuries or fatalities for the previous calendar year, DOT identifies in this report the 20 highest crash locations, inspects, and proposes improvements where warranted.
