The Department of Transportation published its Truck Route Management and Community Impact Reduction Study, which seeks to coordinate engineering, education, information and enforcement efforts to mitigate the negative impacts relating to truck traffic, as well as improve the overall truck management framework that exists in the City of New York. This study is part of an ongoing effort by the NYCDOT to address these issues.
If DOT denies a request by a community board or council member to provide a traffic controls signal, DOT must provide a summary of the studies and that lead to the decision to deny such installation.

The Department has accelerated its efforts to improve pedestrian and traffic safety at locations that have repeatedly been the site of traffic or pedestrian-related accidents. These efforts have sharply reduced the number of traffic-related accidents and fatalities, which are now at historic lows.

The Department of Transportation released a report on the THRU Streets initiative which showed that the program has had a beneficial effect on traffic conditions in midtown Manhattan. The initiative has consistently improved travel time, increased vehicular capacity, and enhanced pedestrian safety. The average travel time along the City's THRU Streets fell by 25 percent, while speeds went up by 33 percent. The number of motorists benefiting from this improved travel time rose by 16 percent.
The THRU Streets project aims to make crosstown travel more consistent and reliable for automobile drivers and improve conditions for pedestrians. As a result of the program, travel times on the streets have improved, increasing vehicular capacity and pedestrian safety.
Currently, M101, M102, and M103 buses do not stop between 55th Street and 61st Street, yet 57th Street is a major destination. Right-turn lanes for Queensboro Bridge-bound traffic between 57th Street and 59th Street preclude buses from accessing the curb for a conventional bus stop. Additionally, 57th Street is a high-crash intersection for pedestrians. To address these issues, DOT plans to install a bus boarding island between 56th Street and 57th Street providing a new bus stop at 57th Street. The project will also make pedestrian safety improvements including the elimination of left-turn/pedestrian conflicts, increased pedestrian crossing time, and added protected crossing time for pedestrians.
This document addresses the expansion of bicycling in New York City, particularly after the completion of the 9th Avenue Complete Street and Bicycle Path. Addressed are the goals and challenges of the project, as well as the consequent successes and projected furthering of efforts.
In February 2005, "The Gates" temporary public art work was on view for 16 days in Central Park, consisting of 7,500 gates bearing saffron-colored fabric panels. "The Gates" required the full closure of the Central Park Drives to set up and dismantle the exhibit, and partial closure during the exhibit. This report documents the traffic impacts associated with the closures of the park drives during this exhibit.
