This report introduces a robust new metric for assessing the local economic impacts of street improvements. DOT examined changes in sales tax receipts in areas around improvements, finding convincing evidence that the improved accessibility and more welcoming street environment created by these projects led to increased retail sales.

Sustainable Streets is a strategic plan for the New York City Department of Transportation that focuses on bringing a green approach to transportation that will simultaneously ease travel conditions in the growing City while squarely facing the problem of climate change and improving the city's quality of life.
In the Spring of 2008, the Department of Transportation released Sustainable Streets, the agency's strategic plan of transportation initiatives. The plan laid out, for the first time ever, a clear and detailed transportation policy for New York City, one that promised a new direction. The plan details ideas that will lead to safer streets, improved mobility, and a smaller environmental footprint, resulting in a higher quality of life.
Sustainable Streets: 2013 and Beyond charts DOT's progress in making streets safer, improving mobility, and maintaining and enhancing infrastructure since 2007. The report reflects on previous strategic and other planning documents produced by DOT, and explains projects, programs, and data analysis that have contributed to a decline in citywide traffic fatalities, faster bus service, improvements in bridge conditions, and creation of new public space.
The Sustainable Streets Index provides data on recent trends in traffic, parking, travel and safety. It also includes a section on "project indicators", an assessment of 11 major DOT projects completed by the end of 2009. This assessment covers the impacts on safety, usage for motor vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, bus riders and travel times in the project areas.
The Sustainable Streets Index 2008 sets benchmarks for our Agency's progress towards achieving more sustainable mobility in New York City. This report is presented in accordance with Local Law 23 (Council Bill Intro 199) signed into law by Mayor Bloomberg in June 2008. This report is a living document that will be published annually. It will be expanded next year to include a detailed look at how recent changes in streets design and operations affect different groups of users.
