1. WWS527a: Transportation Strategies to 2030 for a Climate Responsible New York City: Maximizing Capacity, Minimizing Impact Wendy W Fok Putting “Service Distribution/Transportation” back into the Equation

2. Foreword: For the last 50 years, New York has underinvested in its transportation network. We are now proposing a sweeping, regional transportation plan that will enable us to improve travel times and achieve the funding necessary to meet the city's and the region's needs through 2030 and beyond. That includes strategies to improve our transit network and reduce growing gridlock on our roads through better road management and congestion pricing. We will seek to create a new regional financing entity, the SMART Financing Authority that would provide one-time grants to achieve a state of good repair and fill the exiting funding gap for critical transit expansions, enabling our region to achieve a new standard of mobility. --PLANYC 2030: Transportation Report (Source: http://www.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030/html/plan/transportation.shtml)http://www.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030/html/plan/transportation.shtml
